1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to be an American. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 2: All right, here we go Monday morning. The fun is 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: behind you now, the outdoor fun is behind you, the 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 2: brief dabbling of summer. And it felt like Florida yesterday 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: here in Cincinnati, record high princh temperatures. And then you 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: head out this morning and back to wearing a jack. 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: That's how we roll in the Queen City. Baby Scott's 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: loan back with you on seven hundred WLW, jumping right 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 2: in with this. On Friday, President Trump said he was 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: considering winding down the US military operations in Iran, and then, 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: in true Trump fashion, by Saturday night, he was threatening 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: to strike their electrical grid and their infrastructure to get 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: the straighter her moose back open. Meanwhile, Democrats partially shutting 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 2: down government over DHS reform. And now we have unpaid 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: TS agents using sick day, so that means shortest, it 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: means long lines at the airports. That means ice agents 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: are being used now to help support those on the job. 18 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: And it is problematic for sure. We got lots going on. 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: And let me bring in on this. Congressman Greg Lansman 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: from here in Cincinnat, Eddie, how are you by the way. 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: Greg has been waiting. He is at Dulles right now. 22 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: He's been waiting in line since Thursday afternoon. How's it. 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: How's the way going, how's the way going. 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: I'm home. I'm home. I'm home. No, it's bad. 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 4: They you know, they need to pay TSA immediately. 26 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 3: I mean, there's the votes are there for it. 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 4: It's lunny like sometimes the solution is so simple. And 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: the majority leader Senator Soon republic and when said Trump 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 4: yesterday and just said, look, we can pass a funding 30 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 4: build of fund TSA, and Trump said no, yeah, well. 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: Last go around a well last go around it was okay, 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 2: so voters playing Republicans for the shutdown TSA and okay, 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: well get back to the most six months ago. And 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: now it's the other way. The Democrats are like, well, 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: they're the ones that are because they want uh they 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: you know, they want these these other things in there 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: with the the voting at the Save USA Act. And 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: I think there's most people looking at like, okay, it's 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: we We keep hearing this movie over and over. Democrats 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: fault Republicans, fault Republicans, fault Democrats, fault Yeah. The fact 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: of the matter is you got these people who are 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: working expected to work and they're burning through their six 43 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 2: days when they need them, and uh, it just it's 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: it's so mindless. Why are we doing this. 45 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a it's a leadership piece or issue. Right, 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: So the majority of us in Congress, on both sides, 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: we would pass a funding bill right now that would 48 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: fund TSA, FEMA, you know, Secret Service, Coast Guard, everything 49 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: but Ice. As the Ice negotiations continue and it gets 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 4: stopped at the top, it gets stopped with the Speaker 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: and Fune and fun Tribe yesterday to just go to 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 4: Trump and say, look, we have the votes to fund 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 4: TSA and and and you know, let's just go ahead 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: and get it done. And for whatever reason Trump said no. 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 4: My feeling is they should just go ahead and put 56 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 4: it on the floor. Let us pass a funding bill 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 4: to fund TSA. I've seen the Secret Service, and if 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: he wants to Trump wants to be to A, he can, 59 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 4: but I don't think he will. 60 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: Okay, but it's sticky, it is. You know, we've got 61 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: all sorts of problems in this country. And you see 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: these long lines now Brandon and not everywhere. But at 63 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: the same time, you know, two hour await just to 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: get into the terminal in New Orleans is absolute sandy, 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: especially this time of the year, and it's only going 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: to get worse. I get the same America Act. I 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: get the premise of it. I kind of question why 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: we need it if the you know, the number of 69 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: people who are actually falsifying and going to vote are 70 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: very very very small in the odds of someone casting 71 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: a vote in this country. Believe, it's like, it's not 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: that big, it's not a big deal. But at the 73 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: same time, it's like, Okay, I got to show an 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: ID for everything else, why is this a. 75 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: Bad but Sonny I called Halton County just to see, like, 76 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: how many you know, non. 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: Citizens you know noted? They said zero. 78 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we don't have said what they're going to do. 79 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: They're going to prevent you know, tens of millions of 80 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: Americans from voting because you'd have to go in. Now, 81 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: if this law were to pass, it's really just to 82 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 4: save Trump, you know, Bill, it doesn't It actually would 83 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 4: probably be the biggest blowdour democracy of voting rights. 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: You know, in my lifetime. 85 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 4: But it would it would require you to go in 86 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: with a bunch of paperwork to prove your citizen to 87 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: register to vote, as opposed to just having you know, 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: the Rose could right now just check every registrant against 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: you know, the BMV data, right and if there was 90 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: an issue, he could then send it to that person 91 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: and say, hey, you're not in the BMV. You know, 92 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: I need some paperwork. You could do that right now 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 4: and make sure that zero zero percent of or one 94 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: hundred percent of all registered voters are American citizens, as 95 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: opposed to, you know, preventing folks from registering to vote 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: because they've got to go get a social they got 97 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: to go get a passport, or they got to go 98 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: get a birth certificate or whatever that and on the 99 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 4: voter ID. We have the most stringent a voter ID 100 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 4: law arguably in the country. And our idea would you work. 101 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: I mean, everyone would have to go get new IDs. 102 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: It's absurd. 103 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: Oh I did that with a with a real idea act. 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you know. The other cry is as much 105 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: Republicans talk about these illegals voting, which isn't happening by 106 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: any measurable maybe a handful in the last twenty years. 107 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: The other side is Democrats love talking about voter suppression, 108 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: and yeah, we live in an age man where it's 109 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: easier to vote than ever before. I mean, you should 110 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: have some form of identification just to live your life 111 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: as an American, and in other countries it's certainly a 112 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: lot more onerous the ask for you to prove your 113 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: papers and stuff like that. Just knowing who you are 114 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: and be able to sort your identity out, you know, 115 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: it takes. We have thirty days of open voting, we 116 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: have thirty days where you can do mal in batting. 117 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: It's never been easier to vote. So I don't I really, 118 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: I still don't. But I don't buy it. I don't 119 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: buy the voter suppression thing. I just don't buy it. 120 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: Every time something like this happens Democrats about voter suppression, 121 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: I just I don't think it's a thing. 122 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 4: Well, because you you probably weren't one of the hundreds. 123 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: Of thousands of people who were purged. 124 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: You know, and and have because I'm alive, not dead. 125 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: That's why the dead. 126 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: People I've met so many of these people who have 127 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: been they've been voting their entire lives. 128 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: Uh. 129 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 4: And the the the voter piece, the I D piece 130 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 4: is fine. Like I grew up, I had to show 131 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 4: identification was that big of a deal. Now now it's 132 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 4: a Now it's an ID, and and and and it's fine, 133 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 4: but there are a lot of folks who don't have 134 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: the ID. 135 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: They got to go get. They got to go get. 136 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: They don't drive, they got to go. You got to 137 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: go get. 138 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: Then you know, a state I D and this would 139 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 4: federalize elections and our IDs wouldn't work. So it's it's 140 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 4: a disaster either way that he shouldn't be holding uh 141 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: funding for. 142 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: T s A. 143 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: I hate the whole well, I mean there's there's also 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: the other, the other political side of the alb but 145 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 2: I I just hate the people that you expect these 146 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: folks to be on the front lines. We're not paying them. 147 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: It's a second why would anyone want to be a 148 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: TSA agent now because there's a good chance every six 149 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: months you're not going to get paid. Representative Greg Landsman 150 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: on the show this morning, I will set that one aside. 151 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: What about the Iran thing.

That 174 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: could be catastrophic. Let's let's go ahead before it's too 175 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 4: late and deal with this weapon shield. That was the 176 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: entire operation, and now that it's over, he needs to 177 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: be done he needs to stop saying on one you know, 178 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 4: on one day, look we're winding down. 179 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: This is going to be done. On the next day, 180 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to start blowing stuff up. He needs to 181 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: be done. That will make a huge difference in resolve 182 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: of resolving this. 183 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 2: It's exhausting. I mean, one day it's like, hey, we're 184 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: gonna pull up. Now it's like no, Now we're going 185 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 2: to double down, and hey, what would be great if 186 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: our allies would come help us here? Not well, screw 187 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: you guys. We're going to go twice as it's like 188 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: every day is it feels like a year with what's 189 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: going on right now, I'm not helping himself. But at 190 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: the same time, you know, as someone who grew up 191 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: during and remembers the Iranian hostage crisis, screw those guys. 192 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone is sad that the Eye Tooll 193 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: is dead, but now his sons in place, if he's 194 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 2: still alive, who knows what's going on there in Iran 195 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: right now, But they're they're holding up much and resisting 196 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: more than we thought. I certainly don't want to see. 197 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: I know, we deployed another Marine Expeditionary Unit GREG to 198 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 2: the region. I don't want troops on the ground. I 199 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: think that's pretty clear for almost all Americans, especially Democrats, 200 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: but even Republicans are overwhelming. Oh, this is just we're 201 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: not going to do this again. 202 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 4: Now, no troops, no troops, no, you know, extended variation 203 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 4: of this operation. The operation was destroy the missile shield, 204 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: get rid of the launchers, the rockets, the missiles. 205 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 3: And the navy. 206 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 4: That will, you know, make it much easier for us 207 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: to deal with the remaining and rest geranium, which we'll 208 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: deal with later. 209 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 3: But no ground troops, do not Mission treap here. 210 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 4: Be done, and being done will resolve a bunch of 211 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 4: these other issues, including. 212 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 3: The straight of her views. 213 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: All right, I want to win the limited time we 214 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 2: have left, Greg Landsman, I wanted to get into this, 215 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: which is something a little more controllable. We had at 216 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: least a dozen dozens of people at UC on Saturday 217 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: for a citizen forum on data center proposals spreading, and 218 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: that would be in Hamilton and Wilmington and Trent in 219 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: Maysville and maybe I'm Mount oreb and Kentucky and Indiana. 220 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: They're all over the place, and in Adams County for 221 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: that matter. And the key concern is energy costs are 222 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: going up, water usage is going to go up. Environmental 223 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: impact is an issue in a lot of cases, especially 224 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: Adams County. Is a like of transparency there, and small 225 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: communities are being outgunned by big tech. What was the 226 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: tenor that meeting on Saturday that you took part in. 227 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, people are frustrated. 228 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: They want the data centers that they're going to come 229 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 4: in to pay for everything that they use. 230 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: It's you know, if they should. 231 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: Pay for all the water, although less just the all 232 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 4: their remediation, and and and and enough. 233 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: With these nbas. I mean, the Ohio is a state. 234 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 4: You know, we're very proud about our open meetings laws 235 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 4: and in the sunshine laws. 236 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 237 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: And here you have these big tech companies coming in 238 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 4: and signing m d as with elected officials in these 239 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: towns and nobody knows what's going on. 240 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: It's incredibly shady. 241 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: And and then you know, electricity bills go up in 242 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: addition to noise and all other all and a bunch 243 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 4: of other issues. So you know, we have a bill, 244 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 4: I mean, we're leading the charge on this. 245 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: We have a bill called the. 246 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 4: Do No Damage Data Centers which would require number. Trump said, 247 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: he I I talked to all these big tech companies. 248 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 4: They're gonna they're gonna go ahead and pay their their 249 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 4: their their own way. But I did it with the handshake. 250 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: Ours would be the bill that would codify it. 251 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 4: It would say, look, they have to pay for everything 252 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 4: when they come in and go to data. They got 253 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: to pay for all their water, they got to pay 254 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: for all their electricity, and no one's rates can go up. 255 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: And if they don't do that, there will be severe penalties. 256 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 4: There are severe penalties in the still and no more nbas. 257 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, because that is the issue in Adam's gown. I've 258 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: been following that one out there. That's a good outlier 259 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: because they're kind of like tip of the spear and 260 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: they're putting a more toime as Cincinnati did. And I 261 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: think that was smart on Cincinnati's part, not that I 262 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 2: don't know if we're going to get a big data 263 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: center here in Cincinnati, but kind of pump the brakes 264 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: a second. I guess part of the problem is the 265 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: urgency of putting this online, because let's face it, we're 266 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: all if you're like, yah, screw big data in data centers. 267 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: Guess what we're all part of the problem, the average American, Greg. 268 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm sure you know as twenty one devices at any 269 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: one time hooked up to the Information super Highway, which 270 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: essentially is the pipe in the Internet, and all that 271 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: requires data integration, requires AI, which is growing by leaps 272 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: and bounds, and so we're part of the problem. We're 273 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: kind of like the not in my backyard people right now. 274 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: It's like, we want to use the phone. We expect 275 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: instant in from mentions, the touch of a button, at 276 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: the swipe of a finger, and you at the same time, 277 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: we don't want the data centers going and it's not 278 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: going to work that way. 279 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 5: No. 280 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 4: I mean, look, it's coming and we all use it. 281 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 4: People think a lot of it is driven by AI, 282 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 4: big chunk of it is. But to your point, twenty 283 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 4: one devices are plugged in. I mean you're talking about 284 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 4: your iPhone and your computer and all those other you 285 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 4: get a. 286 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: Smart toaster or whatever. It is exactly right. So people 287 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 3: are using people are using it. 288 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: I mean the question to me is twofold one is 289 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 4: who pays and who benefits? And you know big Tech 290 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: and you know they got billions of dollars. There's some 291 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 4: of the richest people in the world. They are the 292 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: richest people in the world. They should pay. I don't 293 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 4: want our chunds and our rate payers to pay. And 294 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 4: then when it comes to who benefits, we need to 295 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: get our act together to make sure that the people 296 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: who are benefiting from this AI revolution aren't just the 297 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 4: people at the top that it's it's everybody that our 298 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: kids are growing. 299 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: Up learning how to use this and they are the. 300 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: Ones who are going to benefit just as much as 301 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 4: anyone else. Otherwise it's going to create, if you know, 302 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: more unevenness in our economy if we don't, if we 303 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: don't resolve this, you know, digital divide issue immediately. But 304 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 4: the most version thing is who pays for these data 305 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 4: centers and our break Let's be very clear, let's protect our. 306 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: Towns and our ratepayers. Big tech to pay. 307 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: Okay, And it's it's a catch twenty two because we 308 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: demand this stuff and yet we don't really want the 309 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: big power suckers that are the data centers out there. 310 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: It's just a man. I don't mind the state leaning 311 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: into it saying, hey, we want to attract all of 312 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: this stuff because it's good for the future, for the 313 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: foreseeable future, but certainly the environmental, the water, and the 314 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: electricity issues are big ones at that. Should we be 315 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: fast tracking legislation and ease up a nuclear power I 316 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: know that other I know companies like Google and other 317 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: are going to build build them like nuclear reactors to 318 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: power not only their AI facilities, but also sell it 319 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: back to the grid. So it makes a lot easier. 320 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: Is that a good idea? 321 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: I don't think easing up on the right And I 322 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 4: don't know if you said this, but you know we 323 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: don't want to ease up on the oversight. But yeah, 324 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: we got a fast track. We got to move these 325 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 4: things forward. I think it is It is a It 326 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 4: is a good source of energy, but we also need 327 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: permitting reform. I mean, this country is going to consume 328 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: an enormous amount of energy and electricity. We've been here before. 329 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: You know, somebody was mentioning. 330 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: When the air conditioner was invented all of a sudden, 331 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: you know that we were dealing with something similar. 332 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: So you know, we we we can't we can handle. 333 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: This, but it does require us to produce more energy, 334 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: and I want it to be clean and that's a 335 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 4: you know, that's a clean source of uh of energy 336 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: so long as it's safe. And you know that doesn't 337 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: mean that we have to be you have to have 338 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 4: some oversight. 339 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't. I don't know. 340 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 4: Why we're not continuing to build out these uh these facilities. 341 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's it's been, you know, one of 342 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: the most reliable sources of clean energy we've ever had. 343 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think back of the day, when are 344 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: the protests against it? That was a mistake, you know, 345 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: people living in the moment. But yeah, I agree. I'm 346 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: not saying that we should just go, hey, build a 347 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: nuclear actor. What could go wrong? There's got to be 348 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: over sight, but I think the regulatory Look, it shouldn't 349 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: take thirty years to get one online. 350 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no. 351 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: No, no, don't have that. I mean we don't, but 352 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: also I shouldn't. It doesn't take that much time anymore. 353 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: But you know, we know how to do this, So 354 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: you know, they're coming up. 355 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: With these smaller uh you know. 356 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 4: Plants and these modulars to whatever they're called, and and 357 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 4: I think there's real benefit to those, but that still 358 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: takes a while. So you know, the point is, you know, 359 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 4: you either have a moratorm on going back to the 360 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: data center. You either have a moratorium and say, well, 361 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 4: you know, we're not going to build them here, even 362 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 4: though you have to build them here because they're they're 363 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: going to be connected to the grid, or you say 364 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: we're building them here, but here are the rules, and 365 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 4: they're simple. The rules are the data center in big tech, 366 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 4: they pay for everything. They pay for the water, they 367 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 4: pay for the electricity, and they pay for the remediation 368 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: and no NBA. 369 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll make their money back for sure. I 370 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: wonder you know. I also the one to the point 371 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 2: where we make it so onerous that they don't do 372 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: business in Ohio. So we got to, you know, and 373 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: you want to bring these companies in. We need them, 374 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: but we certainly have to set up some rules just 375 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 2: to make sure that their abuse is the water. One 376 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: I think is going to be interesting. That's gonna be 377 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: interesting fight. We'll save that for later. A out of time. 378 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: He is Congress and Greg Land's been jumping on the 379 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: show this morning. Greg always appreciate the insight. Thanks again, 380 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: Thanks take care. Hell yeah, disagree with a couple of things, 381 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: agree with a couple others. We've got to move forward 382 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: on data centers, but you do just some balance in there. 383 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: The Iran issue is God only knows what's happening there. 384 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: But relative to TSA workers, DHS funding and the role 385 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: of ICE agents, this whole thing. One side screams about 386 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: illegals voting, which isn't happening. The other side screams about 387 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: voter suppression, which I don't think is happening all about 388 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: it's listen, at some point, it's so hard you got 389 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: to get an idea and like, listen, man, I'm a 390 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: grown adult. It's a life is a pain in the ass. 391 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: It's a I had to drive to Detroit to get 392 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 2: global entry so we could go on vacation. So don't 393 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 2: tell me the government it's like, oh, it's so hard 394 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: for people to just really, isn't It's just it's a 395 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: pain in the ass. 396 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: That is what it is. 397 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 2: That's what government does. We'll get a news updated and uh, 398 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: maybe some reaction to this. But also remember when the 399 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: Vice mayor Jan michelleman Kearney wanted to pay criminals not 400 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: to criminal. I want to pay you not your criminal. 401 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: We're going to pay you not to criminal. Does it work. Well, 402 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: We've got some interesting news out of Chicago today. We'll 403 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: share it with you next Scott's Loan Monday morning. Welcome 404 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: to at seven hundred WLW Clody here, seven hundred WLW 405 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: Welcome to it on this Monday morning. Good to see 406 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: our buddy Tom Brenneman filling in today for Steve Hawkins. 407 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: It's wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Getting ready for opening day twenty 408 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 2: twenty six on Thursday at the Holy Girl Banks. Here 409 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 2: we go, so here we go. You heard Brian Combs 410 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: mention it shooting's up sixty percent in Cincinnati year over 411 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: year and four more now, four more over the weekend, 412 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: including one homicide. Let's go back to a plan here, 413 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: and this was introduced in twenty twenty four and it 414 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: didn't really get funded the two hundred and seventy five 415 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: thousand dollars to advance peace. It has been rejuvenated. I 416 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: don't know if they're going to vote on it anytime 417 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: soon and what the future is. But the idea is 418 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: presented by Vice Mayor Lemon Michelle Kearney, who wants to 419 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: essentially pay criminals not to criminal And there's a couple 420 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: of models that are out there that the experts say, well, 421 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: you know here's the thing. We get this money we 422 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: give them, We give them cash. Like for example, Advance 423 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: Peace enrolls people who have committed gun crimes in an 424 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: eighteen month Peacemaker fellowship, and the idea is active shooters 425 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 2: are touched by street outreach mentorship relationships with those directly 426 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: involved include of those who pull the trigger, and allegedly 427 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: in other cities this is working so advanced pieces that 428 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: it pays the triggermen to change. But Peacekeepers, this is 429 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: a plan in Chicago, puts community members around the triggermen 430 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: to stop it before it happens. So one rewards essentially 431 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: past criminal behavior. The other deploys messengers proactively. Is what 432 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: they say, and it's you know again. I think it's 433 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: a nuance between the two programs really, because ultimately, what 434 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: you're doing is, hey, listen, you're somebody you want to 435 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: turn your life around. Sure, well here's some money, so 436 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: you can get your money, but you don't have to 437 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: do to things you used to to get that money, 438 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: and then you can influence other people. I mean, in 439 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: the perfect world to be utopia, it sounds grand, but 440 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 2: we don't live in a perfect world. I'm more of 441 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: a pragmatist I'm sure you might be quite the pragmatist 442 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 2: as well. I don't know, but we do have some 443 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 2: data out relative to the Chicago Plan. Peacekeepers, much like 444 00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: Advanced Peace Chicago, spent a billion dollars a billion dollars 445 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: with a bet on community violence intervention the CBI programs 446 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: they called it, over the last ten years, the last decade, 447 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: and that program some of those programs. Part of this 448 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: pays former and sometimes current gang bangers to mediate conflicts 449 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: to prevent shooting. So the idea is, hey, you guys 450 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: are in the gang, you're in the streets right now, right, 451 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 2: and you're affiliated. So what we want you to do is, 452 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: here's some money. It's known you are going to be 453 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: a mediator here because you can essentially walk in the 454 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 2: shoes of that people are doing this right and you 455 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: can prevent them from shooting. So Peacekeepers pays these participants 456 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: up to one hundred and fifty dollars one hundred and 457 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 2: fifty bucks a day to wear neon vests, kind of 458 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: like you know, the street team down on Fountain Square, 459 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 2: except not cleaning up you know, physical trash, clean up 460 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: human trash, I guess. But anyway, we're in the invest 461 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: they worked the hotspots, and so the Free Press did 462 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 2: an investigation and they found twenty eight or as peacekeepers 463 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: since January twenty twenty three, and that would include murder, 464 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: drug trafficking, and weapons chargers. One peacekeeper has this picture 465 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: with Governor Pritzker of Illinois and then after that picture 466 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: participated in a smash and grab robbery about six days 467 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: later that killed a man whose baby was born the 468 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: next day. They also have found, because of the massive 469 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: billion dollars in funding for this thing, that some of 470 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 2: the funds went towards vodka, taco trucks, Apple Star purchases, 471 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of other waste. So again, every 472 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 2: time you go, hey, listen, we're gonna here's this money, 473 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 2: and we're gonna give some of this money to this 474 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: this group, or we're going to turn it over to 475 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: these individuals here, because they're going to take that money 476 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: and disperse it. And when you hear politicians say that, 477 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: andy go, okay, here's a million dollars. Let's say not 478 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 2: a billion, but a million. So out of that million, 479 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 2: here saying well, we got also we're going to give 480 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand to this group. Seventy five thousand, this 481 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: group two hundred thousand's going to go to this group, 482 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: you know. So the community gets on board, and what 483 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: happens is they just look at that and go, you 484 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: and I pay for it. But they know the money's 485 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 2: gonna get wasted. And we've seen this with FEMA, We've 486 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: seen this a bunch of other things. We just know 487 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: that it's graft. In order to keep vocal members of 488 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: the community engaged, we have to pay them off. And 489 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: so anytime you hear that, well, we've got we've got 490 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: to fund these other program It's just a kickback, is 491 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: what it is. It's a kickback. And so in this case, 492 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: Chicago tries if they spend a billion dollars over ten 493 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: years and now we're still talking about violence intervention vention 494 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 2: here in Cincinnati, are we about to write the same 495 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: check with the same results. I think that's the question. 496 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: That's a question I have. There's no serious accountability structure. 497 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: One alderman in Chicago called it a scam and a 498 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: revolving door. There's I forget the podcaster, but somebody got 499 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars in sub grants. What does a 500 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: podcast have to do with stopping shootings. Also this person 501 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 2: as they use the money to become a clothing influencer. Great, awesome, 502 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: that's what we need. Awesome. And so as we always 503 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 2: demand line item accountability, you feel that anytime you do 504 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: these programs, you just kind of wink wink, nudge, nudge, 505 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: and you go with the flow. Maybe like back in 506 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: the day, you know, he got a grease, so well, 507 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 2: we got to pay the mob off a little bit 508 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: for protection. Same kind of thing. It's a different kind 509 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: of mob. It's a different kind of mob. The disturbing 510 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: part is you had almost thirty people arrested in the 511 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 2: last three years on murder, battery, gun chargers, drugs, had said, 512 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 2: and one person who was part of this program getting 513 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: money was arrested twice in ten days. One of the 514 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: other studies he did too, was they got a bunch 515 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 2: of folks together candidly and they said, okay, who's in 516 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: this who's here just for the money? In about forty 517 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 2: percent of the crowd raise their hand to go show you, hey, listen, 518 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 2: you're gonna give me money with little accountability. I'm gonna 519 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: do that because you are at the heart, you're you're 520 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: engaging criminal behavior. So you're willing to have no moral 521 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: obligate whatsoever, no obligation to society. It's about you. And 522 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry when you take someone like that, with those 523 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: kind of ethos and put them in a situation where, Okay, 524 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 2: we're going to pay you to be nice, it's not 525 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 2: going to work out largely. And I get it. You know, 526 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: you need street credibility to reach people. The cops can't, 527 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: the people who intervene can't. But you're you know, and 528 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 2: you're paying people for being gang members. That's actually what 529 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 2: you're doing. And so I don't know you start with kids, 530 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: but again, the lure of the street is so pervasive 531 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 2: that I don't think you can get through this. 532 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 4: Now. 533 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: We have our own history of community police tension and 534 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: downtown safety concerns, and we know all about that Riverfront 535 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: live shooting. It's just that the problem I think that 536 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: doesn't pass the sniff tests as a pragmatist is the 537 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: unaccountable cash payments to high risk individuals. And to me, 538 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 2: it feels just like a political gesture. Well, the idea is, well, 539 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: we have to do something. We've tried everything. We need 540 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 2: tougher gun laws, Okay, we've had tougher gun laws for years. 541 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 2: It's really not moving to the el nation. With all 542 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: the weapons that we have, ninety nine plus percent in 543 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: the hands of legitimate people who don't do these things 544 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: with them, it doesn't make a lot of sense. And 545 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to change the Constitution. 546 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: The Second Amendment's not going anywhere anytime soon. So I 547 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: don't know what overstriight site structure Cincinnati would put in 548 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: place that Chicago didn't, because I think, you know, if 549 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 2: there's a pot of money there that the government wants 550 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: is to hand out, there's gonna be people lined up, 551 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 2: and not only that, a number of the people who 552 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: are lined up have absolutely no problems taking it with 553 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: producing zero result. You know, paying game members not to 554 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: shoot each other sounds compassionate until they spend the money 555 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: on vodka and you know, go smash and grab a 556 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: I don't know, the protest store at the mall. You know, 557 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 2: if you look at the receipts of Chicago, that's really 558 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: not that's really not good. Hey look at Chicago, and 559 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: you know, at anytime you do this at cherry Pick, 560 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 2: So you're gonna look at the cities wh are Yeah, yeah, 561 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: it's worked here, that's worked there. Well, okay, that's good, 562 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: but tell me where it didn't work, Because you're trying 563 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: to tell me something. I don't know the successes. I 564 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 2: want to know the failures and did you learn from 565 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: the failures? Clearly? Not clearly? Not so anyway, that's what's happening. 566 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: I think it's kind of interesting and at some point 567 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: it'll be reintroduced. We did this in twenty twenty three. 568 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: They wanted two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Council 569 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: voted for it, eventually got shot down, and it's back 570 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: on the table again this year, or at least it 571 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: was last year and end of this year, I would sume, 572 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 2: because you know, when you think there's utopia out there 573 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: and we can live in a perfect world where there's 574 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: no wars, there's no fighting, everyone loves each other, I 575 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: got news fair. The world doesn't love on a run, 576 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 2: doesn't run on love. God bless you for going to 577 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: the world pi idoe ey'd stary eyed thinking you can 578 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: change it. There are people out there who are not 579 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 2: going to change. There are people out there simply don't 580 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: care about you, but they will take your money with 581 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 2: a zero accountability that they will do. And it happens 582 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: all the time, all the time. News on the way 583 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: in about nine minutes here on the Big One, seven 584 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: hundred WW Opening Day coming up Thursday live, the Holy 585 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: Girl Banks will see you down for that. Can't wait 586 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: hopefully the weather and it looks like we got a 587 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: little window on Thursday. It's still too early, I mean 588 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: these you know the opening Day fourcast. Look it's Monday, man, 589 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 2: Thursday's a long way away, a long way away. Let 590 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: me know on how we looking on Wednesday. But I'm 591 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: being optimistic as I usually am, saying there's that window, 592 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: you know, we see that where like rains overnight and 593 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: then clears up and then the game goes off and 594 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: then later in the night there's more rain coming in. 595 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: But right now it's looking, it's looking if it looks 596 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: like it's a go for Reds Baseball on Thursday. Let's 597 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: just bottom line it for you. Slooney at five, one, three, seven, four, 598 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: nine seven the Big One to talk back on the 599 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. The Reds are not getting out a good 600 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: year on scathed. However, later in the show, look at 601 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: other than thirty five, we'll do our weekly update with 602 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: Jeff gar from Lockdown Reds. It's the car show, and 603 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: we're going to talk largely about the Reds pitching situation 604 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: ahead of opening day because we got problems. We were 605 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: fat and happy just about a week ago, and then 606 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's blister city, all right. We 607 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: keep losing guys. You know, Brady Singer was flagged for 608 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: blister back on March eighteenth, but things look good from 609 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: that point forward. Of course, you've got Hunter Green out 610 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: till at least July because of the bone chips. You 611 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: have Caleb Ferguson who's coming out of the bullpen. He 612 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: starts a season on the IL. He's got an MRI 613 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: scheduled for later this week actually, I think what maybe Wednesday, 614 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 2: And so we're kind of a little decimated right now. 615 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: And on top of it, yesterday, Nicolodolo exits his final 616 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: spring spring training start with a blister on his left 617 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: index finger, and this has been a big issue for 618 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: him for his career. He missed the what over three 619 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 2: weeks last August with the same problem. And I know 620 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: that it's been extremely hot in Arizona. If you haven't 621 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: been following it closely, they have moved. They had moved 622 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: a number of games outside of the hot hours because 623 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: it was one hundred and five degrees out there was crazy, 624 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: and I guess if you're going to develop a blister, 625 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 2: it's going to be when it's that hot out. But 626 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: you got Dolo, you got Singer, you got green out. 627 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: Now we had all this pitching, and all of a sudden, 628 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: now it's looking a little bit thinner. It doesn't mean 629 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 2: that these guys can't step up on Opening Day, and 630 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: especially with the bats you have McLean and Ellie and Freedom. 631 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: If these guys can keep hitting the ball, it's going 632 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: to solve a lot of problems for sure. So anyway, 633 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: Jeff car eleven thirty five will get into that, and 634 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: of course more on opening day itself. Here on the 635 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: Home of the Red, seven hundred w WT Cincinnati. You 636 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: want to be an American idiot, Planty here seven hundred wws. 637 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: You parked the legally, you pay and guess what you 638 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: still got, Rob. We have a parking scam going on 639 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: in America right now. On that is attorney Carry Lutz, 640 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: who's investigator All Luso wrote a book about it. 641 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 3: Carry, how are you doing great? 642 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 6: And appreciate you helping to get the word out on this. 643 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 6: It is a multi billion dollar scam that they soak 644 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 6: us for five fifty dollars at a time. You don't 645 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 6: even realize that you're being taken. 646 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 3: Many of the signs throughout the country, signs that say 647 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 3: scan here to pay aren't legal. They aren't legal. They 648 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 3: can't be writing tickets based on these signs. Signs in America, 649 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: street signs are strictly governed by the NUTCD, the law 650 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: that you have been living by your whole life. You 651 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 3: never even heard about it. 652 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 6: It's the manual on uniform and emphasize uniform traffic control devices. 653 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 6: Just substitute signs for traffic control devices. A sign is 654 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 6: a traffic control device if and only if it conforms 655 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 6: to federal standards. Every state has adopted this law and 656 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 6: they can't write a ticket, yet they do every single 657 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 6: day of the week if the sign doesn't conform. 658 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: And you will all know the signs you. 659 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 2: Just assume because they're the QR codes on them. Now, 660 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: so carry out its first. As far as Cincinnati goes, 661 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 2: we know cities across the country they've they've kind of 662 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: privatized parking enforcement to tech companies basically, and you mentioned 663 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: the signage, clear signage, lawful notice. There's app based contracts, 664 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: there's but they also harvest your data. There's the penalty. 665 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: Systems will confuse rather than form. So it's kind of 666 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 2: like this constitutional grazone. Now, I will say that Cincinnati 667 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: has not yet fully outsourced our parking enforcement the way 668 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: places like well Chicago or Pittsburgh have. So we hate 669 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: the Cubs and we hite the Bucks. So there you go. 670 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: Enforcement is run by the by the Parking Division of Cincinnati. Now, 671 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 2: they they push the pay by Phone app, but that's 672 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: a private third party platform that's operating a bunch of cities. 673 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 2: And they also have since the since the easy park 674 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: app for Ebeart payment, which I use. But drivers here 675 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: still interact with private apps to pay meters. It's not 676 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: as bad as other cities, but it feels like a 677 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: slippery slop like it might be heading that way. 678 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 6: It's getting there. When a city adopts an app, they 679 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 6: find that their revenues from parking, both fees and violations 680 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 6: go up forty to one hundred and sixty percent just 681 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 6: from the apps. And one other thing about the app. 682 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 6: You know, and I know there are millions of miners 683 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 6: driving the nation's highways. They get their licenses, some as 684 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 6: early as fifteen. I think in a least of fourteen 685 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 6: and up to seventeen. 686 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 3: You're a minor. You can't enter into contracts. That's why a. 687 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 6: Bank will not loan a child money. And the when 688 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 6: you actually download the app and click I accept, you 689 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 6: are saying. 690 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 3: I wave my right to trial by jury, I wave 691 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 3: my right. 692 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 6: To enter into a class action. I consent to have 693 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 6: my data shared with God knows how many different partners 694 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 6: that these apps are. I mean it's a question of 695 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 6: who don't they share your data with park Mobile, you 696 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 6: can sent to have your data stored in foreign countries. 697 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 6: And for miners, they're getting the geolocation, the exact location 698 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 6: of a minor when they pay for the parking. 699 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 3: And this is just unconscionable. It's unacceptable. 700 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 6: They endanger miners potentially, but they shouldn't be entering into 701 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 6: contract and many states now are passing laws requiring parental 702 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 6: consent before the minor is allowed to even utilize an 703 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 6: app or a game on the platform. I've written takedown 704 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 6: notices to Google App Store and Apple App Store saying 705 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 6: this thing is rated for four years and up, which 706 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 6: means anybody can use it, and yet you're allowing miners 707 00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 6: to consent to sharing data. 708 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: It's illegal, out and out. 709 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 6: I've also sent complaints to the FTC, the Florida Attorney General, 710 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 6: the Texas Attorney General, a number of others, the SEC 711 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 6: because they're issuing bonds backed by parking. 712 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 3: Revenues that are illegally illegal revenue streets. 713 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 2: So when you said the signs themselves are are legal, 714 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 2: like the QR code on the signs, first of all, 715 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 2: are those ones that are on public streets? What about 716 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: parking lots or city owned parking lots, and you mentioned 717 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: they can't write a citation for that. 718 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 3: Why isn't okay? 719 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 6: So when you have a city owned lot or a 720 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 6: private parking facility, different rules apply. But even the city 721 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 6: owned lot really needs to comply to some extent with 722 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 6: the federal guidelines. So but on street parking, that's what 723 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 6: we're talking about here. But if a parking lot connects 724 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 6: to a street and part of it is a ivate road, effectively, 725 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 6: then the standards apply. The point is they should be 726 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 6: using those standards for any government owned parking facilities. 727 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 3: Anywhere. 728 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 6: I mean, for instance, the sign is supposed to be 729 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 6: seven feet high. I wish I had a dollar for 730 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 6: every sign that was six and a half or five 731 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 6: feet high. It's supposed to face oncoming traffic. How many 732 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 6: signs have you seen that are mounted parallel to the street. 733 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 6: Unacceptable because the whole point of it is uniformity, so 734 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 6: that if you're in Alaska or you're in Key West, 735 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 6: you can get on the highway, you can see a sign. 736 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 6: You don't have to think about it, you know exactly 737 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 6: what it means. Also to stop somebody from say Portlandia 738 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 6: or Seattle, they decide that they don't like the system, 739 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 6: and they want stop signs to be green and instead 740 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 6: of red, and they want people to stop on green 741 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,479 Speaker 6: lights and go on red lights. 742 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 2: Does that technicalivy negate? The law? 743 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 6: The enforcement law, absolutely, because if the sign's defective, that 744 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 6: is your due process, your notice of the law. 745 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 3: You can't be expected to know a law if. 746 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 6: You haven't gotten notice to obeyl a law, and so 747 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 6: anything that comes from that. If the sign is illegal, 748 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 6: the tickets they're legal, all right. 749 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 2: Cincinnati uses we have the Cincinnati Easy Park app. But 750 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 2: also there's pay by phone which is a third party 751 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: app and it's in well over a thousand cities. Well, 752 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 2: who owns the data collected When a Cincinnati driver or 753 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 2: a suburban driver, out of time driver goes in parks 754 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati use that app, what can they do with it? 755 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 3: That's a great question. 756 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 6: Now, really effectively, this is a big tech solution for 757 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 6: a simple problem. So pretty much the app owns the data. 758 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 6: This city might be able to obtain the data or 759 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 6: certain portions of it, but the app owns the data. 760 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: They own your data. 761 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 6: And look in the remember Ababacare, they said, if you 762 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 6: don't get health insurance. 763 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 3: Then we're going to find you. 764 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 6: And the Supreme Court said that's okay, because you do 765 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 6: have a choice. But for instance, in the town upon Beach, 766 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 6: the President's home away from DC, the winter White House 767 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 6: in that town, they have done away with all other 768 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 6: forms of payment. 769 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 3: So, in other words, if. 770 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 6: You want to park in Palm Beach, you have to 771 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 6: use the app, and that therefore they're forcing you into 772 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 6: a private contract. 773 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 3: And that's what all of them are doing. 774 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 6: They all want you to use the app because they 775 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 6: don't want to collect meters, they don't want pay stations, 776 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 6: they want you to use the app, and they force 777 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 6: you into a private contract that's called coerced contracting compulsory contracting, 778 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 6: and then it's with a third party, so you have 779 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 6: to pay to pay to park sure because they charge 780 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 6: you a convenience fee. I don't know who it's convenient for, 781 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 6: whether it's. 782 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 3: For them or for you. 783 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 6: But look, it's all on life site, parkscam dot com. 784 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 6: The book is there, and I think that you know, 785 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 6: it's been allowed to fester for too long. Originally parking 786 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 6: leaders served a valid purpose, and that was they didn't 787 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 6: want people parking in front of merchants all that long. 788 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they went to squat and there basically treated like 789 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 2: a parking lot because they want to They want to 790 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: turn traffic over so people can spend money. Start Sure, 791 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 2: and it's now it's turning to well, I think I 792 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 2: think Chicago is a great example. They've been knew this 793 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 2: for a long long time and that's considered by many 794 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 2: people the disaster. But uh, that is like how it 795 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,959 Speaker 2: gets sold to councils. And you know, we're always looking 796 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 2: for money right the city since naw, we need money. 797 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 2: We sold our railroad so we could fix the roads 798 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 2: here that've been ill repaired for twenty plus years. This 799 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 2: feels like something they go, wow, okay, well can we 800 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 2: make some money off this thing? Much money, much like 801 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 2: Ohio did before they passed along these law which which 802 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 2: outlawed these speed cameras, and so you know you'd go through, Yeah, 803 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 2: you get this ticket in the mail. I didn't even 804 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 2: always drive in the car, and you know, paying these 805 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 2: exorbitant fees and you couldn't fight it because there's some 806 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 2: out of state po box and that got struck down 807 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 2: in Ohio smartly enough. This sounds like it's like the 808 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 2: next incarnation of that. 809 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 3: I'm hoping it will be. 810 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 6: I've sued the six municipalities. I have sued three parking 811 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 6: apps in the US District Court in in South Florida, 812 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 6: and they're going. 813 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 3: To have to account for it. 814 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 6: I've also put in some complaints to the Florida Department 815 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 6: of Transportation. They've been very upset about street art that 816 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 6: it's not a traffic control device, it's illegal, and it's 817 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 6: an opinion said all illegal traffic control devices need to 818 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 6: be immediately removed because they're a danger to the road. 819 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 6: And yet these parking signs are abundant and the towns, 820 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 6: the cities view them as free money, but in the 821 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 6: end they. 822 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 3: Really injure merchants. 823 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 6: Downtowns were ruined by parking, and that's why people started 824 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 6: going to malls. And the more they this is just 825 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 6: an extractive system. They provide you no value, all right, 826 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 6: no value whatsoever for parking. We own the curves, right, 827 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 6: the public owns the streets, so they're charging you. 828 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 3: You know, I get the. 829 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 6: Fact you need turnover. You don't want somebody hogging all 830 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 6: the all the retail, right, yeah, yeah, exactly. And private 831 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 6: parking that's a private matter between you and. 832 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 3: The owner of the garage. 833 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 6: But when they use an app, and you can't even 834 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 6: park in the facility unless you use the app, all right, 835 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 6: so you have a choice. So I won't park there. 836 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 6: But for children getting their data shared and basically the 837 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 6: app is a data harvesting tool. Would you believe that 838 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 6: the app actually creates or has the ability to create 839 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 6: a behavioral profile of the user. They know when you 840 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 6: go to work, they know whenever you park, and then 841 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 6: that picks up patterns and then they market to you 842 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 6: these app companies. I get monthly emails from park Mobile 843 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 6: saying join the Private Park, Mobile club and YouTube. 844 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 3: Can you know? 845 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 6: It does the thing that every app should do, which is, 846 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 6: if you're running late, you should have the ability to 847 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 6: automatically extend time. 848 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 3: So their private club app does that. 849 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 6: They don't charge convenience fees, but they're regular app that 850 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 6: the general public downloads doesn't automatically spend time. So if 851 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 6: they could do it for the people paying, why can't 852 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 6: they do it for the people who are who are 853 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 6: just casually. 854 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 2: Carry lots at parkscam dot com and not bad yet 855 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 2: Here in Cincinnati, we're talking about the pay by phone 856 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 2: app since the easy park is meter payment here in 857 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 2: the city has that and everything's enforced by the Parking Division, 858 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 2: but the pay by phone app is being used in 859 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 2: some lots in other areas, and it's kind of like 860 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 2: Mission Creep. And the idea here is you are forced 861 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: to enter a third party contract outside the scope of Cincinnati, 862 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 2: much like we did with speed cameras, where even if 863 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 2: you follow the signs and think you parked legally, you 864 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 2: can still get a ticket. How does that actually happen 865 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 2: though it sign says I can park here at park, 866 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 2: I pay and I still get a ticket. What's going on? 867 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 6: Well, you think the sign says that, and a lot 868 00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 6: of tickets are are actually thrown out when people take time, 869 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 6: when you take the time to actually challenge them, and 870 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 6: the parking enforcement officer what we used to affectionately called 871 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 6: meter maids. 872 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 3: They don't know the law generally any. 873 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 6: Better than you do. All they do is scan your plate. 874 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 6: The thing says violation, create ticket, and that's what they do. 875 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 6: It's more and more an automated process. They even have 876 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 6: cameras that clock you when you come in and then 877 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 6: clock you when you leave, and if you stay two 878 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 6: minutes over you get a violation. So all of it 879 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 6: is just it's just gotten to the point where it's 880 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 6: just totally extracted. It just provides no value and it 881 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 6: needs to stop. 882 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 2: You mentioned that there's like a constancial gray zone that 883 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: no regular or wants to claim jurisdiction at the federal 884 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 2: state are here in cincinn at the local level. So 885 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: how does that? What's the gray zone? And who should 886 00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: be mine in the store? Why aren't they? 887 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 6: Well, it's every so the NUTCD that's the bible of 888 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 6: the road. It's twelve hundred thick pages of every sign, 889 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:16,280 Speaker 6: speed limits, of traffic lights. You name it, markings on curbs, 890 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 6: et cetera. And in it every state has had to 891 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 6: adopt it. They passed laws generally, and so basically in Florida, 892 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 6: the Florida Department of Transportation is responsible to see that 893 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 6: this thing is carried out. And they have the ability 894 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 6: as well as the FEDS to say, you're not complying 895 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 6: with the manual, you're losing highway funds. And that's what 896 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 6: Florida is doing with the street art, getting the cities 897 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 6: to remove the street art, saying this is a traffic 898 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 6: control device and it doesn't comply and you're losing your money. 899 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 6: And it's millions of dollars a city, like for Ludderdale. 900 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 6: So every every state has the ability to actually implement 901 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 6: this and force these cities to comply with the law. 902 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're making money off it. That's the whole 903 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 2: driver this thing, which asked the begs of question. More 904 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 2: and more cities each day must be privatizing the parking 905 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 2: apps and things like that because they're making money. 906 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 3: Right. 907 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,959 Speaker 6: Oh, of course, there was an area in a city 908 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 6: here called Riviera Beach, Singer Island, very plush, and they 909 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 6: implemented a parking system in a lot that forever had 910 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 6: been free and the prices are outrageous. This is what 911 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 6: started me off on the whole thing. And they figured 912 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 6: they could bring in a couple million dollars a year. Well, 913 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 6: except they privatized the entire system where city employees don't 914 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 6: even write the tickets. It's the private employees write the 915 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 6: ticket and they and then the judge, jury and executioner. 916 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 6: They actually they actually there's an admunication portal and you 917 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 6: basically if you want to challenge the ticket, you go 918 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 6: to this site and then you have to struggle to 919 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 6: find the link that says challenge this ticket, and then 920 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 6: they decide whether or not you have a valid plane, 921 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 6: and then they want to charge you for an arbitrator 922 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 6: if you don't agree with their decisions. 923 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 2: It sounds like it sounds almost exactly like the speed 924 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 2: camera thing we had here. It's a profit center. It's 925 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,720 Speaker 2: not about public right away and enforcement. He's carry lots 926 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: for more on this. It's parkscam dot com, America's great 927 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 2: parking scam. Parkscam dot com carry lots. Thanks for the time, 928 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 2: appreciate it, Hey anytime. 929 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me on. 930 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the interesting part, but again, you know sinc. Now, 931 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 2: we're not yet fully outsourcing this. We do have the 932 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 2: since the easy park app, which I think as far 933 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 2: as I can tell some about the city, But they 934 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 2: do push the pay by phone app, which is a 935 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 2: private third party platform like he's talking about here. So 936 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 2: it's a mission creep for Warners Forum especially. I mean, 937 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,320 Speaker 2: you're going to a Reds game in Pittsburgh or Chicago 938 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,720 Speaker 2: or other cities, they have this there. So just FYI 939 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,879 Speaker 2: Scott's Loan Show seven hundred ww. Everyone needs help every 940 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,799 Speaker 2: now and then, and she's here to help us get 941 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 2: our heads right. This is Mental Health Monday with mental 942 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 2: health expert Julie Hattershire. Yeah, so autism diagnosis an all 943 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 2: time high. Understanding wise, we're still catching up. So what 944 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 2: do you do when a child has a melt down 945 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 2: in a grocery store? How do you talk to a 946 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: nonverbal person? What are we getting wrong about autism? I 947 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 2: bring this up because we have had an incredible number 948 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 2: of deaths involving autistic children in this case, we had 949 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,959 Speaker 2: just another one last weekend. As a matter of fact, 950 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 2: they're like nine where they walk into a pond. We 951 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 2: had one in Deerfield Township, a four year old drowning, 952 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 2: and so there's something about water that attracts autistic children. 953 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 2: Not much we can do about that other then maybe 954 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 2: just keeping an eye out if you have a retention 955 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 2: pond your house or your neighborhood or whatever it is. 956 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 2: But you've got to really be careful for some of 957 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 2: the young men in Westchester last summer who passed away. 958 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: But it brings autism back in the light. We certainly 959 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 2: spend a lot of time talking about people are where 960 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 2: it exists. It's a real thing, but you just wonder 961 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,320 Speaker 2: how many folks actually understand what it is. And on 962 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,720 Speaker 2: that as our licensed mental health therapist of course, Julie 963 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 2: Hattershare on the show on seven hundred WW for mental 964 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 2: health money. 965 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 5: Good morning, good morning, how are you. 966 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm fine. These are horrible stories to read about when 967 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,399 Speaker 2: you have young people who are dying. I mean kids 968 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 2: who are dying are autistic and they wander off and 969 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 2: go off the reservation. I think they call it eloping. 970 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: Is the a formal term when they do that. 971 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 972 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is horrifying. 973 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 3: It truly is. 974 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 5: And there is a higher prevalence of it in the 975 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 5: autistic child community than in the non autistic child community. 976 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,479 Speaker 5: All children are attracted to water, but autistic children tend 977 00:49:53,640 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 5: to drown more frequently than non autistic children do. It 978 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 5: is called a open yeah, and they run away, they leave, 979 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 5: They wander off for various reasons. And one of the 980 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 5: things that's important if you're a caregiver of someone who's 981 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 5: autistic to understand is what they may be trying to 982 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 5: do by leaving. They're not just wandering for no reason. 983 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 5: There's a need they're trying. 984 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 1: To meet or want. 985 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 5: They're trying to fill, something they're trying to escape from, 986 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 5: So understanding the why can be really important. But yeah, 987 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 5: that was a terrible case. 988 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the girl, she was nine years older, name was 989 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,839 Speaker 2: Jenny dimm in Florence, and this happened just last week. 990 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 2: And he had about three thousand people looking for at 991 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 2: any one time when she lost and then they found 992 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 2: her in a pond. And man, we've got ponds all 993 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,760 Speaker 2: over so we've got, you know, the ninth one passing 994 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: away this time last year at eight dead, six from drowning. 995 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 2: It's just something about that attracts them to the water. 996 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 2: The child, the four year old in Deerfield Township. He 997 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: was not autistic, as I just saw so that. But again, 998 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 2: you know, kids near water very very dangerous, specially autistic kids, 999 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 2: or something about the water that attracts them, And I 1000 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 2: think it just goes to show you how little we 1001 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 2: understand still despite awareness. I've seen autism stickers, I volunteer 1002 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 2: for autism events, and I understand the spectrum. But I 1003 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 2: think outside, unless there's someone you know who's directly impacted 1004 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 2: or suffers from autism, we kind of go, yeah, autism, 1005 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,279 Speaker 2: but we don't know what it all means. Because now 1006 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 2: one in thirty six kids are diagnosed with this, and 1007 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 2: this seems to me to be it's getting worse, it's 1008 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 2: not better, despite all the attention paid to it. 1009 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 5: I think you could say it's getting worse. And I 1010 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 5: think there's some disagreement in the autistic community about whether 1011 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 5: it's getting worse or whether the diagnosis is becoming much 1012 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 5: more specific. So, you know, things that we used to 1013 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 5: not understand as being part of the autistic spectrum maybe 1014 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 5: are now part of the autistic spectrum. So children and adults, 1015 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 5: because one in forty five adults is diagnosed with autism, 1016 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 5: Children and adults who might not have previously been diagnosed 1017 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 5: because we didn't understand the whole range of symptoms that 1018 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,800 Speaker 5: go into this spectrum. Now is that continues to expand. 1019 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 5: More and more people are finding themselves on the spectrum 1020 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 5: as a result of that. So it may be that 1021 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 5: it's becoming more prevalent. It may also be that our 1022 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 5: diagnostic criteria and our diagnostic skills are getting more sophisticated 1023 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 5: and we're able to catch more people who find themselves 1024 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:23,760 Speaker 5: on the spectrum. 1025 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,800 Speaker 2: And that's usually the case. It gets more granular and 1026 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 2: therefore identifying it more. And so what you though, they're 1027 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 2: here from people who are older. Usually that not always, 1028 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 2: but usually older folks are like, well, back in my day, 1029 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 2: we never had this. It's all made up because your 1030 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 2: kid is acting the full and now we claim it's 1031 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 2: a it's a disease and disorder and not an issue 1032 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,479 Speaker 2: of punishment and accountability, which could be further from the truth. 1033 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 2: But that I think that still exists. 1034 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it is definitely a neurodivergence. Is it is 1035 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 5: a brain difference, which is what neurodivergence means, like ADHD is, 1036 00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 5: like dyslexia is like this calculia is I call dyslexia 1037 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 5: for numbers and that's. 1038 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 3: What I have. 1039 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 5: I had this calculia. But it's these differences in the 1040 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 5: way our brains work, and the more sophisticated or diagnostic 1041 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 5: systems have become functional in oriyes, for example, the more 1042 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 5: we're able to see the way people's brains operate differently 1043 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 5: under different circumstances, and so we're finding more understanding and 1044 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 5: more nuanced understanding of what we used to just think 1045 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 5: of as the kids in the slow class, for example, 1046 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,399 Speaker 5: or the kids who weren't school appropriate so they were 1047 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 5: homeschooled or kept at home. And in the early days, 1048 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 5: children with autism were often institutionalized because their behaviors were 1049 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 5: so problematic it was difficult for families and parents to 1050 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 5: take care of them, and so it Yes, older people 1051 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 5: take a look at it and say, we didn't have 1052 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 5: that in my day, and answers, well, we did, absolutely 1053 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 5: you did. It's just that they didn't mainstream into society 1054 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 5: in the same way that we have been made streaming 1055 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 5: children with learning disabilities and developmental disabilities for the last 1056 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 5: two or three decades. 1057 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 2: At least, we just got the hell bait of us. 1058 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 2: Back then, they hitch a harder right to smack. 1059 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 3: That it is. 1060 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's the way it was. 1061 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. 1062 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 5: Children with ADHD misunderstood, punished, called lazy, called stupid. Now 1063 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 5: we understand their brains operate differently, and we need to 1064 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 5: approach them differently. Autism is similar. Children with autism where 1065 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 5: the weird kid, the quirky kid, the kid who went 1066 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 5: to the special school. Now often we understand more about it, 1067 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 5: and we can help them learn in the way that 1068 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,720 Speaker 5: best suits them and help them maximize their potential, whatever 1069 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 5: that might be, whether that's really high or somewhat lower 1070 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 5: in need of support. Still, we can help children and 1071 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,720 Speaker 5: adults live better lives and maximize their potentially. 1072 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 2: I still do have the numbers dyslexia, for example. 1073 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 5: And yeah, just calculia that I got the hell be it. 1074 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 2: Out of me for years. I'm really good at reading 1075 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 2: and but my verbal all those sins are off the charts. 1076 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 2: And then the math was just terrible and I couldn't 1077 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 2: do it. So I did not know that it was 1078 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 2: a bonafide condition until today. Am I Todd the money 1079 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 2: compensation a better parking spot? Can I get something for 1080 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 2: this disability? 1081 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 5: You're you're entitled to And I'm sorry from every math teacher. 1082 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 2: You ever had, Yeah, yeah, used to shame you. 1083 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 5: I think if that was true, because I got. 1084 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I did the math teaching I had. 1085 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 5: For being like you, really bright in some areas and 1086 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,360 Speaker 5: could not do my multiplication people when everybody else should. 1087 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 2: Rattle them to have a beer multiplication and I could 1088 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 2: not memorize any of it. 1089 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 5: I could not do them, could not do them. 1090 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 2: My aunt bought me this, this device. It was like 1091 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 2: a big I don't know, slider board, you know, and 1092 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 2: it's like kind of like the flash cards, and it 1093 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 2: was a hard and you sit and do it by 1094 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 2: yourself and go, okay, eight times eight. For some reason 1095 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 2: this day like numbers like eight times six, nine times six. 1096 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 2: I still have to count of my fingers. 1097 00:55:58,560 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember exactly. 1098 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 5: I have workarounds too. And you remember in math class 1099 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 5: when they said you have to know this. You have 1100 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 5: to know this because you're never going to walk around 1101 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,759 Speaker 5: with a calculator in your pocket. And now don't we 1102 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 5: just walk around with calculators in our pockets. 1103 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 2: I always believe in technology. I said to listen, you 1104 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 2: know what, if enough of us, if none of us 1105 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 2: get fat enough, they'll come up with a pill which 1106 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 2: just takes the weight off and look where we are, 1107 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 2: Look where we are, look where we are. 1108 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 3: Right. 1109 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 2: So, but back to autism, Julie, that's the thing is 1110 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 2: we have this. You know, the spectrums really wide. We're 1111 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 2: not quite true like my son experienced young ADHD and 1112 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 2: all that, and you kind of grow out of it. 1113 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 2: I mean, but you know, if you're you can do that. 1114 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 2: But later in life our horses severe. 1115 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:43,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, not necessarily. As you grow. Oftentimes if you're 1116 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 5: if you're pretty well functioning, you can develop workarounds. Yes, 1117 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 5: So for example, you and I didn't outgrow are just calculia. 1118 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 5: We just developed workarounds, including but not limited to a calculator. 1119 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 5: But I can do math in my head pretty well 1120 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 5: because I've worked out a system that makes sense for me, 1121 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 5: which is not the way I was taught. People who 1122 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 5: are dyslexic, they don't outgrow dyslexia. They learn a system 1123 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,439 Speaker 5: for looking at words and looking at sentences and making 1124 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 5: sense of them. So as people grow into their autistic diagnosis, 1125 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,399 Speaker 5: as they grow and change, their strengths may change, their 1126 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 5: challenges may change. They may put themselves or find themselves 1127 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 5: in environments that work with their strengths and compensate for 1128 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 5: their challenges, or the opposite may be true. They may 1129 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 5: find themselves in environments where it really doesn't work with 1130 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 5: their strengths and it really exacerbates their challenges and so 1131 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 5: they appear less functional. Then they might be in a 1132 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 5: different kind of environment. So it isn't necessarily the grow it. 1133 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 5: It's that you can develop skill sets to work around 1134 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 5: and you can often organize your environment so that it 1135 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 5: benefits you more than is detrimental to you. 1136 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 2: Okay, we're talking about autism with Julie Harrisher this morning. 1137 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 2: It's mental health money in the Scots Launch show. Tragically, 1138 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 2: a nine year old girl died just last week. Another 1139 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 2: autistic kid finding water and water is that it's a 1140 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 2: calling for them and a lot of us still don't 1141 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 2: understand what autism means. I think the most common example 1142 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 2: is you're at the store, I don't know, you're at 1143 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 2: your target and child screaming and have an absolute meltdown 1144 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 2: and bystanders immediately assume bad parenting. So what is happening 1145 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 2: neurologically at that moment? Also, as a innocent binder share stranger, 1146 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 2: what should we do or not do when you witness something. 1147 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 5: Like that, well, I think the first thing not to 1148 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 5: do is shame the parents or the caregivers or look 1149 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 5: askance at the child, because clearly the child is overwhelmed. 1150 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 5: Whenever any child has a meltdown, whether they're autistic or not, 1151 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 5: their environment has outstripped their coping skills. That's what that 1152 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 5: means is they are sensorially overloaded in their environment and 1153 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 5: what it's asking of them has outstripped their coping skills. 1154 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 5: Autistic children, that happens more frequently and more easily than 1155 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 5: neurotypical children of the same age. And so you may 1156 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 5: see an autistic child who is old or than you 1157 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 5: would expect a temper tantrum from. If you see a 1158 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 5: two year old throwing a tantrum, you're kind of like, well, 1159 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 5: there too. If you see a twelve year old throwing 1160 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 5: a tantrum, your first thought is why can't they behave 1161 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 5: like a twelve year old. But for many autistic children, 1162 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 5: an environment like target will weigh overstimulate them, and what 1163 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 5: they have to do to manage that overstimulation outstrips their 1164 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 5: coping skills at that moment in time, and they don't 1165 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 5: sometimes have the ability to describe what's going on in 1166 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 5: words which a neurotypical twelve year old would and so 1167 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 5: they tell you in whatever way they need to tell 1168 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 5: you that they have had enough, and that is essentially 1169 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 5: what's going on. One of the hallmark characteristics of oxism 1170 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 5: is they have a very difficult time with speech and 1171 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 5: nonverbal communication. Not that they are not that many of 1172 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 5: them can't speak all those some can't, but understanding what 1173 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 5: the words mean, the nonverbal cues that you need to 1174 00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 5: pick up on and that they need to pick up 1175 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 5: on in communication communication is a challenge. And the more 1176 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 5: overwhelmed and over stimulated they get, the more that becomes challenging. 1177 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 5: So the higher there's stimulation level goes, the lower their 1178 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,919 Speaker 5: ability to describe what's going on goes, and the lower 1179 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 5: their ability to seek relief in more what we might 1180 01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 5: consider age appropriate ways. 1181 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 2: Gotcha, Yeah, And it seems to me like the way 1182 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 2: it's described, and I get it is you know someone 1183 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 2: with ADHD, for example, and we all to some degree suffer. 1184 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 2: But if you're sitting in roomy avig like I do, 1185 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 2: it's like I'm talking to you, but I can hear 1186 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 2: somebody out in the hallway. I just walk. Somebody watch 1187 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 2: past I've got I'm watching. I've got Fox News here, 1188 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 2: They're CNN over there, I've got Sports Center over here. 1189 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 2: The one light is flickering right now, but everything is 1190 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 2: pushed up to eleven, like they're all competing for the 1191 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 2: same thing. So the thoughts in your head it's but 1192 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 2: if you're a child, you have no way to deal 1193 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 2: with that, and so you get the sensory overload. It's site, sounds, smells, 1194 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 2: all perceptions and if everything is pushed up as far 1195 01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 2: as it will go, it's all cumminated. You there's no 1196 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 2: way to sort them. More people who can balance things 1197 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 2: out and go okay, to focus on this, If the 1198 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,480 Speaker 2: more on the spectrum you are, the harder, that is exactly. 1199 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 5: And also if you're more on the spectrum, the more 1200 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 5: sensitive you are to that. Often people with autism are 1201 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 5: often more highly sensitive to sound and temperature and light 1202 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 5: and plantation touch than those who are not on the spectrum. 1203 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 5: So take a normal environment that might overstimulate a normal 1204 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 5: neurotypical person someone with autism who is highly sensitive to 1205 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 5: that anyway, it's off the charts stimulating. Then you factor 1206 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 5: in the language challenges that often come along with that diagnosis, 1207 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 5: and they can't talk about it, they can't tell you 1208 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 5: what's going on, and they may not even have the 1209 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 5: ability to make sense of it in their own head. 1210 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 5: And so oftentimes what they do is they want to 1211 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 5: get away. They have a meltdown, or they want to 1212 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 5: get away, which is where the elopement comes in. They 1213 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 5: frequently are trying to get away situations that are overstimulating 1214 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 5: to them, that are frightening, too much, overwhelming, over stimulating, unfamiliar. 1215 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 5: Sometimes they're trying to get away anywhere. Sometimes they're trying 1216 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 5: to get back to someplace that. 1217 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 3: Is familiar to them. 1218 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,800 Speaker 5: I'm going to leave here and I'm going to go 1219 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 5: someplace that is familiar to me. But they're not always 1220 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:24,080 Speaker 5: necessarily aware where that is. Water is a calming, soothing presence. 1221 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 5: It's also pretty. I mean, sun light on water is 1222 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 5: one of the prettiest yeah nights out there, so that 1223 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 5: can be a draw. So it really is about overwhelmed 1224 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 5: coping mechanisms. 1225 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's part of our DNA. It's part mean. 1226 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 2: Water is calming, it's relaxing. You take a bath, you know, 1227 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 2: generally kids like to swim, and that explains maybe explains 1228 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 2: why we have had nine deaths, including one last week. 1229 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 2: Talking to Julie Hatter Share our license mouth health expert 1230 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 2: about autism and and that and that tragedy kids are 1231 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 2: loping and finding water and dying. It doesn't mean the 1232 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 2: kids are dumb either, And I think that comes out 1233 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,400 Speaker 2: as well as like, well, you don't speak, you must 1234 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 2: be You know, we used to call people who weren't 1235 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 2: able to speak dumb. I mean that was literally what 1236 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,200 Speaker 2: we called them back in the long time ago anyway, 1237 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 2: But now we're learning about more about this. So you 1238 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 2: see this in public, you don't want to react, You 1239 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 2: don't want to intervene. Is there something? I mean, when 1240 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 2: a kid's having a tantrum, you just kind of what 1241 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 2: do you do? Do you just let them finish it out? 1242 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 2: Do you hug them? How do you deal with that? 1243 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 5: Well, if you're the caregiver, I'm sure you have your 1244 01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 5: own skills and coping mechanisms for your own child or 1245 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 5: the child you're taking care of. So I would hesitate 1246 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,120 Speaker 5: to prescribe anything for someone who's taking care of a 1247 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 5: child with autism, because they probably know what to do. 1248 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 5: But for those of us who are the bystanders. The 1249 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,959 Speaker 5: thing to do is just give them some peace, walk 1250 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 5: on by, let the caregiver take care of it, don't intervene. 1251 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 5: And for the please don't shame or scowl at or 1252 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 5: mutter about the kid who can't control and the parent 1253 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 5: who can't control the kid. They are out of control literally, 1254 01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 5: so they need to get regulated. They're so regulated to 1255 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 5: that point in time, in our judgment, does not help 1256 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,600 Speaker 5: the situation, either for the child or the people with 1257 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 5: the child. 1258 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine the caregiver having to do that on a 1259 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 2: daily basis, right, It's like, yeah, I get it, and 1260 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 2: you know, he's the lot they're being allowed. It's it's 1261 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 2: not about your needs right now. And it's unfortunate because 1262 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're waiting to get on a plane, 1263 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,880 Speaker 2: let's say, and waiting in a twenty hour line of TSA, 1264 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,480 Speaker 2: that's where the child's gonna have a meltdown. And so 1265 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 2: you know, we kind of all got to do it. 1266 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 5: That's that's where a competent adult is going to have 1267 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 5: a meltdown. 1268 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I might have a melt out right right right exactly. 1269 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 2: She is at Hey, Julie at bconnected dot Care Practice 1270 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 2: out of Clifton.

I mean, I never it's 1309 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:24,919 Speaker 7: honestly been kind of fun to just fun to watch 1310 01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 7: it from as an outsider. Right, it feels like a 1311 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 7: real movement happening in the state. 1312 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's sad that we just killed us on 1313 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 2: the whim of the governor. I will point out You 1314 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 2: had a great post on social said, yeah, we we 1315 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 2: were taking four semi our tractor tows, four semi loads 1316 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 2: of the product of the thh and fused drinks and 1317 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 2: we're taking them down to Kentucky where it's perfectly legal. 1318 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 2: What kind of messages that's a not but that you're doing, 1319 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,040 Speaker 2: but by the state of Ohio. And let me particular, 1320 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 2: Governor de Wine. 1321 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean from us, let's talk about like, why 1322 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 7: does this matter to me? And why do I care 1323 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 7: so much? It's about jobs at my at my company. 1324 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 7: It's about people that work for us and not you know, 1325 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 7: we ship that stuff into Kentucky. That's great, that was 1326 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 7: stuff we made, but we're not allowed to make it anymore. 1327 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 7: And we got people that work in our business, great 1328 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 7: people that have done great work to create something that 1329 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 7: the people in Ohio care about. And now, I mean, 1330 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 7: they don't really have anything to do, right, so we 1331 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:18,840 Speaker 7: have to sit here and say, oh, well, if you 1332 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 7: don't have anything to do, well, then what's our next step? 1333 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:21,000 Speaker 3: I mean? 1334 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 7: And so that's that's what stinks. It's you know, what, 1335 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 7: you want me to pick my pickup or manufacturing and 1336 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 7: move into Kentucky. It's it's right like that's that's where 1337 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 7: it gets a little bit difficult. So we're working through 1338 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 7: that right now. I would say this fight's not over. 1339 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 7: I think it's gonna get really interesting here in the 1340 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 7: next week. If this was a football game here, you know, 1341 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 7: we're we're under two minutes. 1342 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,439 Speaker 1: I do see a way to score. 1343 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 2: You see a path I want to get in that 1344 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 2: just a second. But I got the opinion of Scottie 1345 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,160 Speaker 2: Hunter was on a couple of times with me from 1346 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 2: our urban artifact. You guys are enjoined in the suit 1347 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 2: with two other manufacturers and it didn't go anywhere. Have 1348 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 2: you ever gotten to your satisfaction as someone who brings 1349 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 2: money into the state of Ohio, you know, you generate 1350 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 2: a lot of tax revenue for the state and the 1351 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 2: locom news spills. Have you ever got an answer to 1352 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 2: your satisfaction as to why Mike the Wine struck down 1353 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 2: the THT beverage issue And it was a line eight 1354 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 2: in veto is a what it was? Because the initial 1355 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 2: bill looked pretty good, you said yourself, Yeah, the fifty 1356 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 2: six was great, as best as we could do. There's 1357 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,599 Speaker 2: some really positive things in there. But Mike de Wine 1358 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 2: came along with the power of his pen and completely 1359 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,720 Speaker 2: struck that out, and the legislature and the courts backed 1360 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,640 Speaker 2: them up. Did you ever get an answer as to 1361 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 2: what the issue is. 1362 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: Well, let's go a. 1363 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 7: Little bit back on that. I mean, fifty six was 1364 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 7: not good when it started, and we still it wasn't 1365 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 7: and we worked to get it there. And kudos to 1366 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 7: our General Assembly. They did a great job right in 1367 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 7: that bill. I mean we were asking to go probably 1368 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,160 Speaker 7: seventy miles an hour, and they told us we could 1369 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 7: go sixty five. So, like obviously there were certain things 1370 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 7: in there we wanted a little bit, a little bit more, 1371 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 7: but overall was a great bill, and there was a 1372 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 7: lot of conversations with people that took the time to 1373 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 7: understand it, those that drank them and those that didn't 1374 01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,000 Speaker 7: drink them. I think the part from the governor's side is, 1375 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 7: I don't know how involved we never felt, like, you know, 1376 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 7: the governor was very involved in learning about this process 1377 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 7: or trying to understand it or understand where the bill 1378 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,880 Speaker 7: was coming from. So when he made the decision on 1379 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 7: behalf of the little hiot winds by just taking his 1380 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 7: pen and crossing out fifteen lines of law, that was 1381 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 7: written in by you know, the people we elected. Yeah, 1382 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,960 Speaker 7: it's it. That's a hard one. That's a hard one 1383 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 7: to understand it. And nobody's really clear why. And I 1384 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,560 Speaker 7: think that's that's that's the that's the harder part is 1385 01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,560 Speaker 7: is we don't really have a clear explanation. 1386 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 2: Right, And that's the frustrating. Give me a reason why, 1387 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 2: and you're thinking and and it tends me because I 1388 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 2: know Mike do Wan. I have talked to him many 1389 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 2: times and seems like a you know, a guy who's 1390 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 2: a little bit more moderate, willing to listen, but in 1391 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 2: this case, his mind and his mind's been made it 1392 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 2: for years. I remember when hell I was on at night, 1393 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 2: I'd have him on as Attorney General when he was 1394 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,679 Speaker 2: Attorney general, and he's just got this thing about marijuana. 1395 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 2: You're not going to change a man's mind. But it's 1396 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,519 Speaker 2: unfortunate that one person has that kind of power because 1397 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 2: this means a whole bunch of jobs have been lost 1398 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,920 Speaker 2: and and for some companies I may have to shut 1399 01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 2: down entirely because the growth of Tha beverages was exceeding 1400 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 2: and offsetting the loss and craft beer. Do you find 1401 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:06,719 Speaker 2: that to be true? At fifty West. 1402 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 7: Oh I mean we were our production. I've been put 1403 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 7: into perspective. You know, we would have manufactured more THHC 1404 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 7: beverages this year than we would craft beer. And we're 1405 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 7: the probably between the third and fifth largest brewer in Cincinnati. 1406 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 7: I mean that it's a major, major driver. And the 1407 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 7: other breweries throughout the state or feeling the same thing. 1408 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 7: It was an opportunity that was taken away. That is 1409 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 7: gonna affect jobs, it is going to affect revenue from 1410 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 7: the state, and yeah, it's it's very confusing, and yeah, 1411 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 7: I guess we just we got we're working on. 1412 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,720 Speaker 1: There is a path here, Okay, there is There is. 1413 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 2: The ability to overturn this, all right, So let's get 1414 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 2: into that. I just had Friday, and I've had them 1415 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 2: many times. Of course. The author of fifty six Senate 1416 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 2: Bill fifty six Steve Huffman from Tip City, and he 1417 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,600 Speaker 2: was a little bit more optimistic as well, from a 1418 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,640 Speaker 2: legislative standpoint, but from a business owner who's really, you know, 1419 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,880 Speaker 2: face it right now, having to get rid of all 1420 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 2: this product you can't manufacture at more in the state 1421 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 2: of Ohio. Where do you see the optimism here? Give 1422 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 2: me a glass half full stuff. I'm gonna put some 1423 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 2: pressure on Steve here. So Steve wrote the bill. 1424 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 7: There are the votes in the House right now to 1425 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,679 Speaker 7: overturn this, it has to be brought by the Speaker, 1426 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 7: Matt Huffman. Matt doesn't have the opportunity to bring it 1427 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 7: until the Senate votes on it. And it's pretty apparent 1428 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 7: that there's also the votes in the Senate. We've talked 1429 01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 7: to Steve several times. His initial concern was there weren't 1430 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,160 Speaker 7: the votes in the House. Then the vote in the 1431 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,680 Speaker 7: House showed up. Now we said, Steve, the votes in 1432 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 7: the House are there, bring this up to the Senate. 1433 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 7: Let's get it done it And now Steve's saying, well, 1434 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 7: we'd have to write some different laws. 1435 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 3: I don't know if we can get this through. 1436 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 7: So what we got to figure out is how do 1437 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 7: we put the pressure on our Senate president and our 1438 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,240 Speaker 7: Speaker of the House to bring this to vote. 1439 01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Because if they bring it to. 1440 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,639 Speaker 7: Vote, the votes exist within the people that we elected 1441 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 7: overturn this. And I've heard that directly from them. We 1442 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 7: are we know it's there. So our question right now is, hey, 1443 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 7: let's bring. 1444 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 3: It to a vote. 1445 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 7: I mean, if you bring it to vote and they 1446 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 7: vote it down. Great, But why are we not bringing 1447 01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 7: this to vote is the real question right now. And 1448 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,800 Speaker 7: Steve has a lot of power because he wrote the bill. 1449 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 7: We're a little confused why he keeps flopping on you 1450 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 7: know the reason we're not bringing it to vote? 1451 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know the Attorney General is involve The 1452 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 2: AG's office was involved in this as well, and trying 1453 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,560 Speaker 2: to get a file a response I think to the 1454 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,640 Speaker 2: Supreme Court case as well. I think the concern is 1455 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 2: from maybe not Steve, and I don't want to put 1456 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,800 Speaker 2: words in his mouth, but the concern was that, Okay, 1457 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 2: the governor's override didn't take back for ninety days, so 1458 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,400 Speaker 2: you shut down. They should be shut down on March nineteenth, 1459 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 2: and then it can reopen if they were the case 1460 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,439 Speaker 2: June tenth, but then you'd have to shut down back 1461 01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 2: in November when the federal law kicks in. I wonder 1462 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 2: how many lawmakers are like, well, it's a moot point anyway, 1463 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,280 Speaker 2: because you're going to reopen just to shut down when 1464 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 2: the federal law kicks in. 1465 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 7: Well, but you're having the same fight federally, and we 1466 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 7: anticipate that that's going to get extended. If you look 1467 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,720 Speaker 7: at the bill that they wrote, they clearly documented in 1468 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,600 Speaker 7: that bill guidelines for for when it reopens. So in 1469 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 7: the in the meantime, why are you shutting out all 1470 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 7: the businesses in Ohio and giving us an opportunity? Right, 1471 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 7: you're just behind well, I mean you shut our manufacturing down. 1472 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 7: Why did you shut our manufacturing down? If that's the case, 1473 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 7: let us open our manufacturing back up. Uh, you're you're 1474 01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:22,880 Speaker 7: you're putting us behind everybody else. And and this is 1475 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,479 Speaker 7: not something that that takes someone to reopen. I mean 1476 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,800 Speaker 7: that they their their concern has to do with the 1477 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 7: guidelines that that are put into place, that that's going 1478 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 7: to be governed by the Director of Cannabis Control. We've 1479 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 7: been we've been monitored by the Department of Agriculture, and 1480 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 7: all of the demands from the Department of Control that 1481 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 7: they were asking, all of those demands were being met 1482 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 7: by the Department Agriculture. So just take take the guidelines 1483 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 7: that they were using and apply it and have cannabis 1484 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 7: control hands. 1485 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 2: Well, that would make sense, Bobby, that's the problem. That's 1486 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,599 Speaker 2: the same that you and me and someone listening go, well, 1487 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:54,240 Speaker 2: that's a sensible thing. Let's just wait to see what 1488 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 2: the Feds do. And you know, is is ten months 1489 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 2: really going to be that big a deal? Probably not. 1490 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 2: But Bobby's ladders here. He's the founder of fifty West Brewing, 1491 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 2: you know, talking about the fallout from the THC Beverage 1492 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 2: band which he had. Of course, all these business is 1493 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 2: really hard because we had March Madness. The bars were packed. 1494 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,799 Speaker 2: People want to watch basketball and enjoy t TCH beverage 1495 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,560 Speaker 2: is the fastest growing consumer drink segment there when it 1496 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 2: comes to intoxicating beverages not alcohol. But have to drive 1497 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,760 Speaker 2: THC and we can't sell in Ohio, but other states can't. 1498 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 2: How many other states, by the way, besides Kentucky can 1499 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:27,320 Speaker 2: can sell this legally. 1500 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 7: I mean it's federally legal. So there's a few that don't. 1501 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 7: California doesn't. A lot of times in the states that 1502 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,759 Speaker 7: that don't allow. It has to do with marijuana's blocking 1503 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,120 Speaker 7: on gotcha. So but you know, I would say it's 1504 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 7: it's probably it's great. It's greater than half the states 1505 01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 7: in the United States. 1506 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 2: We don't want any parties we want we're Ohio and 1507 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 2: we want no part of it. 1508 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 1: Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, everybody bordering us. 1509 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 3: Right, you're good, you can over there. 1510 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 2: So if you live in Cincinnati, if you live in Toledo, 1511 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 2: you go ahead, drive over the border, have some drink. 1512 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 2: You can drink and drive more. Presumably that's not a 1513 01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 2: problem with the THC beverage. That that's a problem right there. 1514 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 2: All right, So the fast track here then is what 1515 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 2: so give me, give me like the sunshine. This goes 1516 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,120 Speaker 2: on and eventually the federal government comes to their senses. 1517 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:15,560 Speaker 2: I don't know how much sense they have with the 1518 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 2: shutdowns and everything else. But let's say presumably they have 1519 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 2: some sense, Bobby Slattery, and they go, okay, you know what, 1520 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,519 Speaker 2: You're right. The TCH beverages, they're fine. People want it. 1521 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 2: It's a growing sector. No one's dying, you know, no 1522 01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,839 Speaker 2: one's passing out. It's not like, you know, they're poison 1523 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 2: that we're selling or something like that. It's regulated. All 1524 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 2: is good, that's the hope. Anyway, give me some odds 1525 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:34,640 Speaker 2: on this thing. 1526 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 7: I mean, I'm I'm not an odds maker. What I 1527 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 7: can tell you is there is there is a real 1528 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,560 Speaker 7: will amongst the people that have There's a lot of 1529 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 7: people out there that stop drinking alcohol, that turn to 1530 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,920 Speaker 7: these as sort of an alternative, kind of a step 1531 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 7: between an na beverage and drinking alcohol. 1532 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so they really care. 1533 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 7: There's a lot of people that care about the fundamentals 1534 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 7: of how me to override you have that. And I 1535 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 7: would tell you there's a lot of businesses out there 1536 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,840 Speaker 7: that the worst thing and I'm going to steal some 1537 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 7: words out of out of the you know, the founder 1538 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,120 Speaker 7: of Jackie O's art O Strike, he said this, you 1539 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 7: know the other day, but the worst thing you have 1540 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:12,880 Speaker 7: to do as a business owner is light people off. 1541 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,200 Speaker 2: It's it's literally horrible. 1542 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,040 Speaker 7: You don't want to have to do that, right, So 1543 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,360 Speaker 7: all of us are now faced with that, we're being 1544 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 7: faced with that. 1545 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: And when you face people with that, they're gonna fight. 1546 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 3: We're not. 1547 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 7: This is this is, this is not you know, they 1548 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 7: got us, they got us pinned up against the wall. 1549 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,719 Speaker 7: They you know, they got our hands against our throat. 1550 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 7: We're going to fight back. And so I think you're 1551 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,560 Speaker 7: gonna see that from all these businesses coming up, and 1552 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,519 Speaker 7: you're gonna see the people that are disappointed with their drinks. 1553 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 7: And I think in the next week, you know, you're 1554 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,840 Speaker 7: that pressure is going to get applied to you know, 1555 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:44,240 Speaker 7: our our politicians to say, hey, this is really going 1556 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 7: to affect people in Ohio, and our hope is is 1557 01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 7: that let's just bring it to vote. Let's bring bring it, 1558 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,599 Speaker 7: bring it to vote in the House of the Senate 1559 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,120 Speaker 7: for an overturn. They spent, they wrote a great bill. 1560 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 7: The governor fundamentally changed their bill. You know, do they 1561 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,519 Speaker 7: have the will to to to come back and say, hey, no, 1562 01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,720 Speaker 7: that that's not what we wanted. So that's our hope, 1563 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 7: that's what we're going to be fighting for, and I 1564 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 7: think it's going to be a fun couple of weeks. 1565 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,520 Speaker 2: Well, you also have eight months to convince the federal representatives, 1566 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,360 Speaker 2: Senate and the members of the House that this is 1567 01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 2: a good thing people wanted, they consume it, and and 1568 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 2: you've got time to fight that. I think the problem 1569 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:17,720 Speaker 2: with you guys was you had this petition drive, but 1570 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 2: you didn't have that long to get the necessary signatures 1571 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 2: to send this to the AG's office. So it failed 1572 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 2: simply because I think the clock ran out and you 1573 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,200 Speaker 2: had all those weeks and weeks and weeks of very 1574 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 2: cold weather, so people aren't going out to begin with. 1575 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 7: Well, you know, that's also the referendums was a little 1576 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,680 Speaker 7: bit of a different you know. That was that was 1577 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 7: suggesting the market completely open. Back in the time, you know, 1578 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 7: no age gating. 1579 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,880 Speaker 1: No, they were saying, hey, throw Central fifty six out. 1580 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,639 Speaker 7: I think we liked Centel fifty six here in Ohio, 1581 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:51,599 Speaker 7: and we're in favor of it, you know, the beverage 1582 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 7: manufacturers are. And so that's why the referendum was a 1583 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 7: little tricky. That was another piece to it. That that 1584 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 7: that hurt with getting signatures was just that, you know, 1585 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 7: it was It wasn't all orenough scenario. What we're saying is, 1586 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 7: let's stick with the rules and regulations that are you know, 1587 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 7: we want to regulated market. 1588 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: He wrote a regulated market. Let's let's abide by it. 1589 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 7: But let's abide by the one that was sent to 1590 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,240 Speaker 7: the governor, not the one that he's made the decision on. 1591 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 2: The in eight months, so let me ask you, we're 1592 01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 2: almost out of time here, Bobby. In eight months, though, 1593 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 2: can you flip a switch and start if the Feds 1594 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 2: are legalized you or say it's okay, can you just 1595 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,080 Speaker 2: flip a switch and start production. Ramp that up, and 1596 01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 2: in the next eight months roughly what happens are those jobs. 1597 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 1: No, if the Fed, you know, change the thing November. 1598 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:30,960 Speaker 1: It's illegal in Ohio. 1599 01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 3: It's this is legal federally. 1600 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 2: Right now, isn't. And that's the FED to say, put 1601 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 2: their foot there. 1602 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 7: Governor Dwan has decided to make it illegal in Ohio. 1603 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,640 Speaker 7: So and if and you know, we're working on the 1604 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 7: federal front right now. I'm not coming from a lot 1605 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,600 Speaker 7: of different states to change that. And so that's going 1606 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 7: to get changed. But Ohio is going to be good 1607 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 7: because our governor, you know, changed it. So that's that's 1608 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 7: where we're staying. 1609 01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got to lean on him more. I 1610 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 2: get the nuance there. I just wonder how many jobs 1611 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 2: are going to be lost because you can't keep people 1612 01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 2: on who aren't producing what they were hired doing for long. 1613 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't sit around for eight months. So I 1614 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 7: think that that that's that's why we're asking. We're looking 1615 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,880 Speaker 7: at you. I gotcha the Speaker of the House and 1616 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 7: the Senate President to say, hey, guys, you know, let's 1617 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 7: let's let's put the bill for it that you guys 1618 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 7: voting on and sent it. 1619 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 2: I can't say I like THC, but not in the 1620 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 2: liquid form. It's fine. It's okay. I'd rather have a 1621 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,439 Speaker 2: beer or a bourbon. That's my thing. But you know 1622 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:23,760 Speaker 2: what I hate when government oversteps and tells otherwise hardworking, 1623 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 2: god fearing, tax paying good citizens what they can and 1624 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,600 Speaker 2: can't drink or put in their body. It's not up 1625 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,639 Speaker 2: to you, it's up to me. Provided there's testing, provided 1626 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 2: there's health department oversight, and those other things that need 1627 01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,880 Speaker 2: to be regulated but not banned. That's an entirely different thing. 1628 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,840 Speaker 2: Bobby Slattery, thanks for the time over at fifty West, brother, 1629 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 2: I appreciate you the best. Yeah, keep me in the 1630 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 2: loop on us. I want to keep fighting this one 1631 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 2: for sure. All right, takes coming, gotcha, take care of 1632 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 2: my man. I got to get a news update in 1633 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 2: here next and then we'll talk Red's baseball ahead on 1634 01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 2: seven hundred W Scott Some show Monday morning, seven hundred WLW. 1635 01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 2: And we do this every Monday during Red Sea and 1636 01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 2: that would be our buddy Jeff Carr with Locked on Reds. 1637 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 2: The Reds break camp tomorrow before heading back home for 1638 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 2: opening Day. And camp is not the only thing broken. 1639 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:13,600 Speaker 2: We had this just glod of pitchers and all of 1640 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,639 Speaker 2: a sudden, now it's pretty thin Jeff, welcome back. 1641 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 3: How we doing, Sony? The Reds always test their depths. 1642 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how much they've got of it, they 1643 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:25,640 Speaker 3: use it all baby. 1644 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, before the season even starts. So Nick Lidolo is pitching, 1645 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 2: everything's going good, and then all of a sudden, it's not. 1646 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 2: Now We've got a second pitcher down with a blister. 1647 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:39,160 Speaker 2: And it's nothing new. He's battlest his entire career. He 1648 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 2: said this spring he was taking some preventative measures. But 1649 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 2: you know, if those measures don't hold the March game, 1650 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,240 Speaker 2: what are the realistic options for the Reds to manage 1651 01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 2: this through one hundred and sixty two games. 1652 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:54,320 Speaker 3: Well, and I think that there is a special circumstance 1653 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 3: with this because Arizona was something close to Mercury as 1654 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,840 Speaker 3: far as the temperature goes. This past week, they were 1655 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 3: moving games around, pushing huntil later in the day, and 1656 01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 3: so I think that there was just something to it 1657 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,720 Speaker 3: that pushing too hard, too fast, or something like that. 1658 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 3: But still, you're right, we're talking about a guy that 1659 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:15,959 Speaker 3: there's been one problem in his career and he continues 1660 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,640 Speaker 3: to face that one problem. Begin news is that all 1661 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 3: reports indicate that they caught it before it got too bad. 1662 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 3: It did not rip on its own. They were able 1663 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 3: to treat it and all that other stuff after the 1664 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,720 Speaker 3: game was over. And so that's exactly what happened with 1665 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 3: Brady Singer, and all reports indicate that he is not 1666 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 3: going to miss any time he's supposed to make his 1667 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 3: first start. Brady Singer is for the third game of 1668 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 3: the season. I am hopeful that that's what we hear 1669 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 3: with Nicolodolo, although we know that we're talking about two 1670 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,559 Speaker 3: different pictures when it comes to blusters in this case. 1671 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,920 Speaker 3: But I still think that they caught this early enough. 1672 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 3: And I think that the body language of Nickelodola was key. 1673 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 3: Whenever he was coming off the mound, you could see 1674 01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,839 Speaker 3: that he was mad. He wasn't dejected or depressed or drained. 1675 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 3: It was that he was angry, almost as if it's 1676 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 3: like here we go again. But I don't think that 1677 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,960 Speaker 3: this is the case of like, Okay, he's gonna miss 1678 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,559 Speaker 3: twenty three days like he did with his last blister 1679 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 3: issue last year. 1680 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we know this is a pattern for him. 1681 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,679 Speaker 2: And the question now is just a skip a star situation? 1682 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,160 Speaker 2: What are we talking an idea? 1683 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 3: I think that ultimately they probably will simply because there's 1684 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 3: not one more tune up that they can play with, 1685 01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 3: and maybe they give him an extra bullpen session or 1686 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 3: something like that on the side here to make sure 1687 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,800 Speaker 3: that everything holds up in normal weather for this time 1688 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 3: of year, for the place that he is used to 1689 01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 3: being at, rather than you know, arid, dry condition. So 1690 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:47,439 Speaker 3: I think that ultimately they probably will skip that first 1691 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 3: start against Boston and then we'll see him when the 1692 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:51,599 Speaker 3: Red's hit the road. 1693 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 2: Okay, good, that makes sense. So he misses a little time. 1694 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:58,240 Speaker 2: Who steps in Louder Burns, Williamson, what are we looking at? 1695 01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,280 Speaker 3: I think it probably just kind of crunch this rotation up. 1696 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,040 Speaker 3: I think that you would be fine to move Brady 1697 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 3: Singer into the second game of the Boston Red Sox series, 1698 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,519 Speaker 3: and then you would see redt Louder in the final 1699 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:16,000 Speaker 3: game on Sunday and then on Pittsburgh. I wonder a 1700 01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 3: little bit because they'll add that bullpen spot or well, 1701 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 3: they won't put him on the IL, I don't think, 1702 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,560 Speaker 3: because he'd only miss one start, but well, you know, 1703 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,439 Speaker 3: so they would play around with the roster a little bit. 1704 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,680 Speaker 3: Then you might have that extra bullpen guy, and so 1705 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,479 Speaker 3: you might see Chase Burns start but only throw three 1706 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,680 Speaker 3: or four innings against the Pirates in the fifth game 1707 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:38,000 Speaker 3: of the year. 1708 01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 2: Yea, and Tito said already that we'd be revisiting that 1709 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,920 Speaker 2: situation within a couple of weeks, you know, and so 1710 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 2: trying to figure out who emerges as a clear number four. 1711 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,680 Speaker 2: Was that made any more evident in this last week 1712 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:50,519 Speaker 2: full week of play in Goodyear. 1713 01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,439 Speaker 3: I think that Brandon Williamson is really separating himself. He 1714 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,800 Speaker 3: has had a nice spring, and while I've tried to 1715 01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 3: take it with a grain of salt, it just seems 1716 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,560 Speaker 3: like every time he goes out there he has a 1717 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 3: good outing, and his most recent outing he pitched five 1718 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,560 Speaker 3: plus innings, So it kind of looks like he is 1719 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,880 Speaker 3: ready to go and be relied on. And if you 1720 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 3: are going to see Nickelodella miss more than one start, 1721 01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 3: I think you can work Chase Burns up in that 1722 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 3: first start, maybe even the second start. He goes five 1723 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 3: innings and then you're ready to turn him loose. But 1724 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,640 Speaker 3: I think that the Reds are in any better situation 1725 01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,280 Speaker 3: here than you know. We as Reds fans, we love 1726 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,840 Speaker 3: to take that pessimistic view, and whenever we heard six 1727 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 3: starting pitchers for five spots. We're like, well, you know 1728 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,919 Speaker 3: that old adage when you say you got two quarterbacks, 1729 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 3: you don't really have a quarterback. Do you have six 1730 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,720 Speaker 3: starting pitchers? I mean, you don't have any And I 1731 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,519 Speaker 3: don't think that's the case here. And I was happy 1732 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 3: to hear that their plan for the whole piggyback starter 1733 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 3: situation was not going to be something that extended far 1734 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 3: into the season, because that would be the thing that 1735 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,200 Speaker 3: I'd say, Okay, this is a bad idea, because you 1736 01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 3: are going to tax your bullpen, you are going to 1737 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,519 Speaker 3: to put some weird stress on these young starting pitchers. 1738 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,760 Speaker 3: But the quick hook, as it were, on this plan 1739 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 3: is the key too. Yeah. 1740 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, He's Jeff Carr. So the Car Show, Baby and 1741 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 2: Lockdown Reds is the podcast last weekend of full play. 1742 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 2: I think they break we break camp tomorrow and then 1743 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 2: head back for Thursday. Opening day will be live at 1744 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:21,920 Speaker 2: Holy Girl Banks is always starting at nine o'clock, Me, 1745 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:25,400 Speaker 2: Moegger and everybody, everybody, everybody up until game time. So 1746 01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,160 Speaker 2: hundred Green is out to at least July. Pretty huge 1747 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 2: hole there, obviously, with your ace going down and trying 1748 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,600 Speaker 2: to hold it together. Andrew Abbott's getting the started an 1749 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 2: opening day. Is he ready to go? Does he have 1750 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 2: any blisters? Any headache? Is he like cramping? What's is he? Okay? 1751 01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 3: All reports indicated he is ready to go, and his 1752 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,479 Speaker 3: most recent start, he got his pitch count up really nicely. 1753 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 3: And I know that a lot of folks continue to 1754 01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,439 Speaker 3: belabor the statistics and I don't think they will have 1755 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 3: too many worries after his opening day start. 1756 01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 2: Okay, good, that's fingers crossed hopefully to go. We know 1757 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 2: you mentioned Brady Singer dodge a blister scare of his own. 1758 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,200 Speaker 2: How important is it for him to stay healthy this year? 1759 01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 3: He is the rock in the middle of the reservation 1760 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,200 Speaker 3: mate thirty two starts last year, first treads start to 1761 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 3: make thirty two starts since the Red Side guy's name, 1762 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,639 Speaker 3: Louis Castillo and Tyler Malley shown up for him every 1763 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 3: fifth day, so it's been a little bit there and 1764 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,000 Speaker 3: I continue to expect him to do that again, and 1765 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,519 Speaker 3: it sort of earmarked the top four. And as much 1766 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 3: as we are seeing you know, Hunter Green missing half 1767 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 3: the season or more and Nicolodolo is already dealing with 1768 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 3: blister issues, this whole top four thing is getting. It's 1769 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,320 Speaker 3: taken its licks early, but I'd love to see one 1770 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty starts from the top four, which that 1771 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,280 Speaker 3: just means each guy needs to average thirty. And if 1772 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:51,200 Speaker 3: you take probably you know, fifteen away from Hunter Green, 1773 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 3: it's likely that they missed that one hundred and twenty mark. 1774 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 3: But Brady Singer is going to be that guy that 1775 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 3: you can rely on to kind of lift everybody else 1776 01:26:58,400 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 3: up in that group. 1777 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 2: Gotcha, Cayleen Ferguson is going to start on the el all. 1778 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 2: He's got a MRI coming up this week, I think Wednesday. 1779 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 2: Back here in Cincinnati, bullpen supposed to be a big 1780 01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:11,479 Speaker 2: strength after the rebuild this offseason. How much losing him 1781 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 2: does that hurt? To calculus here? 1782 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 3: It's not as bad as you would think in years past, 1783 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 3: because the year the Reds saw their biggest weakness in 1784 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,439 Speaker 3: the bullpen being their lefties, and when you know, last year, 1785 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,760 Speaker 3: for the much of the year, it was just Brent 1786 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 3: Suitor and he wasn't really even a lefty specialist. He 1787 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:34,960 Speaker 3: was more of a long relief specialist. The Reds needed 1788 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 3: to upgrade that and so that's why they signed him. 1789 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 3: They traded for brock birth and they kept Sam maul 1790 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 3: where a lot of people wondered if they might cut him. Well, 1791 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,280 Speaker 3: they're looking like geniuses for keeping him now because he's 1792 01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 3: going to be able to backfill Caleb Ferguson's the spot 1793 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 3: at least in the short term. And Sam Maull's actually 1794 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,560 Speaker 3: looked good this spring, where last year he was not 1795 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 3: good at all in the spring or in the regular season. 1796 01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 3: He showed up the camp out of shape. This year 1797 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,919 Speaker 3: he's completely different. It looks like he was super focused. 1798 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,760 Speaker 3: All of his appearances have looked really well. Albeit he's 1799 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:08,679 Speaker 3: still had a little bit of control, but every pitcher 1800 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 3: kind of goes through that during spring training, and so 1801 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 3: I expect him to at least fill in in a 1802 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 3: way that the Reds won't necessarily miss Caleb Ferguson as much. 1803 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 3: But whenever Caleb Ferguson returns, then we will see the 1804 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:23,799 Speaker 3: sailing of the bullets. 1805 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:27,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Sam mall also made the team, and Tito talked 1806 01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 2: about his stuff looking a lot better late in camp. 1807 01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,720 Speaker 2: Is he a legitimate back end weapon or is he 1808 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,880 Speaker 2: is he a roster filler? While Ferguson recovers. 1809 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 3: Honestly, if he could pitch like he pitched in twenty 1810 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 3: twenty four. He could be a legitimate weapon. He was 1811 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,960 Speaker 3: a guy that was super good at limiting opponents whenever 1812 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 3: he came in. I kind of had this stet that 1813 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 3: I never really came up with a good name for 1814 01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,840 Speaker 3: a very relief pitcher that came in, didn't allow base 1815 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 3: rounder and got at least one strikeout and Sam Mall led. 1816 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:58,040 Speaker 3: That was second in the team to Alexis Diaz that year. 1817 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 3: But I mean, I think a lot of people would 1818 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:01,560 Speaker 3: have been surprised by that. 1819 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what we need. We need We need 1820 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 2: another statistic in baseball. We need a new plan every year. 1821 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 3: I looked at the long list and I'm like, flony, 1822 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:11,599 Speaker 3: there's there's. 1823 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:15,560 Speaker 2: Not enoay, there's not enough data. More I demand, I 1824 01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,960 Speaker 2: demand more data. He is Jeff Carr with lockdown, right, 1825 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 2: all right. So that's the pitching situation which has been 1826 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 2: pretty frightening here in the last couple of weeks, with 1827 01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 2: the injuries, the blisters, of course, losing your your opening 1828 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 2: day ace, Caleb bur Ferguson on the bullpen. What can 1829 01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 2: make up for that and cover a lot of problems there? 1830 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,040 Speaker 2: If indeed we have problems would be, of course, the 1831 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:39,519 Speaker 2: position player. So let's talk lineup. Matt McClain has had 1832 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,840 Speaker 2: one of the best off spriensive offensive springs in all 1833 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 2: of baseball, I mean all the major leagues. Is it 1834 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:46,280 Speaker 2: real this time? 1835 01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,840 Speaker 3: I think that there are elements to it that are real. 1836 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:51,720 Speaker 3: I'm not going to expect him to hit over three 1837 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 3: hundred for the season, but there's a very key thing 1838 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,200 Speaker 3: that he has done this spring that he just hasn't 1839 01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,200 Speaker 3: done so far in his two year career, and that 1840 01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,680 Speaker 3: is he has cut his chase rate almost I mean 1841 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,640 Speaker 3: almost by ten percent. His career chase rate is at 1842 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:11,080 Speaker 3: twenty seven percent and this year, or sorry, twenty five percent. 1843 01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 3: And this spring he only swung it pitches outside the 1844 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,040 Speaker 3: strike zone at a rate of seventeen percent. So his 1845 01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:21,960 Speaker 3: plate discipline is up, his eye is better, He's seeing 1846 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,040 Speaker 3: the ball really well. Now there's some other stats, like 1847 01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,800 Speaker 3: when it comes to his luck and things like that 1848 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 3: that would say that, well, a five twenty six batting 1849 01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 3: average is a little high. It's a little lucky, and 1850 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 3: whenever you make more hits than outs, I think most 1851 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,560 Speaker 3: people would agree with that. But at the end of 1852 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,680 Speaker 3: the day, I am buying his plate discipline, and I'm 1853 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 3: buying his approach the way that he is able to 1854 01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,960 Speaker 3: kind of stay back on his back foot and wait 1855 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 3: on that breaking ball that's low and away, put his 1856 01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:52,960 Speaker 3: bat on it and just poking in the right field 1857 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,519 Speaker 3: for a single and move along. He has now covered 1858 01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,080 Speaker 3: the hole in his swing that pitchers knew about last 1859 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,800 Speaker 3: year are going to have to regain plan for him. 1860 01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:04,640 Speaker 3: And while they do that, I think Matt McLean's going 1861 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 3: to be producing quite a bit for the rest. 1862 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 2: Okay, good, Yeah, and he's it looked incredible so far 1863 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 2: as it has for Ellie. He just continues to do 1864 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 2: Ellie like things. He's healthy, he looks good. 1865 01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,120 Speaker 3: I mean, we saw a couple of different situations in 1866 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 3: the spring where he either walks where he gets a 1867 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 3: single and then you blink and he's on third. And 1868 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:27,639 Speaker 3: that's exactly what we need from him in games where 1869 01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,160 Speaker 3: he might not have his best stuff with the bat, 1870 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,920 Speaker 3: as long as his legs can carry him forward. He's 1871 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,960 Speaker 3: a five tool guy. Yeah, you know, if all five 1872 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,599 Speaker 3: of those tools are working like we've seen the spring, 1873 01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:39,680 Speaker 3: then we are going to see the superstar that we 1874 01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 3: know that he can be. 1875 01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:44,280 Speaker 2: Gotcha Noelvie Marti had some some shaky moments in right 1876 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 2: field defensively, Tito said he made the club for sure. 1877 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,600 Speaker 2: So what's your honest assessment. Who's watched a lot of 1878 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,760 Speaker 2: spring training honest as seven of Noelvie Marti as an 1879 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 2: everyday player for the season starting Thursday. 1880 01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,000 Speaker 3: You know, like the old cartoons or something where somebody 1881 01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,000 Speaker 3: he's like trying to figure something out and so they 1882 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 3: hold up a big spyglass to something. I'm still holding 1883 01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 3: up a big spyglass to Noelvi Marte when he's fielding 1884 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,960 Speaker 3: right now. I got to figure out what that looks like. 1885 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 3: Because obviously he had the best play of the year 1886 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,519 Speaker 3: last year for the Reds. But at the same time, 1887 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,240 Speaker 3: we saw plenty of plays where he's kind of run 1888 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 3: around in the outfield like bugs bunny, trying to find 1889 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 3: a baseball, and you don't want to see that on 1890 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 3: a regular basis. You want to see guys taking good routes. 1891 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 3: You want to see him putting himself in an easy 1892 01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 3: position to make a play, and I don't know that 1893 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,760 Speaker 3: we really saw that this spring. So I hope that 1894 01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:40,280 Speaker 3: he acquires that rather quickly because this outfield it seems 1895 01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 3: interesting because there were some nice performances from guys this year, 1896 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:49,040 Speaker 3: But I don't necessarily know that I buy how much 1897 01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,560 Speaker 3: this outfield or how good this outfield has looked in 1898 01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 3: spring training. I've got to see that. That's the one 1899 01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 3: thing that I've remarked for the season that I'm like, 1900 01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 3: I got to see it to believe it. And I 1901 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,679 Speaker 3: got to see his glove working believe okay. 1902 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:03,640 Speaker 2: And then also the bench too, love the fact that 1903 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,680 Speaker 2: they resigned to a Vigno Platinum glove catcher send Multilegit. 1904 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 2: That's awesome, Will Benson. Obviously, Nathaniel Low who made the 1905 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:15,040 Speaker 2: club despite a lot of personal trauma during spring training, 1906 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:16,400 Speaker 2: but he still showed up. 1907 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,600 Speaker 3: You know, Nick Kral must be living right because for 1908 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 3: NATHANIELO to be available for nothing, and that's what the 1909 01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 3: Reds got him for was nothing, and he's going to 1910 01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,640 Speaker 3: be a key part of this team for this year 1911 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:30,160 Speaker 3: because I think that he's going to bounce back in 1912 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,240 Speaker 3: a big way. He's a guy that his career has 1913 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 3: been good. Last year was not, and so if he 1914 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,640 Speaker 3: can just get back to what the back of his 1915 01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,240 Speaker 3: baseball card says, then he is going to be an 1916 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 3: asset for the Reds. And how many times have we 1917 01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:44,599 Speaker 3: been able to say that for the Reds in these 1918 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,160 Speaker 3: past couple of years. So many young guys trying to 1919 01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:49,120 Speaker 3: make their way in the major leagues and they don't 1920 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:52,800 Speaker 3: have a back of the baseball card. NATHANIELO does and 1921 01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:54,639 Speaker 3: we know what he can bring to the field. Good 1922 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:58,360 Speaker 3: on base guy, solid line drive power. He's everything that 1923 01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:01,400 Speaker 3: Nick Kral says he wants a hitter is. Nick Carl 1924 01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,200 Speaker 3: loves to tell us how much he loves the life 1925 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 3: a line drive hitter. That's so Nathaniel is. And so 1926 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:10,960 Speaker 3: he's gonna play for base BDH but also be pinch 1927 01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,679 Speaker 3: hit extraoreding air for the Reds from the left side 1928 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:15,439 Speaker 3: of the plate. And I think he's gonna be a 1929 01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:17,360 Speaker 3: weapon that the Reds can use in multiple spots. 1930 01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,439 Speaker 2: Okay, good should be interesting. Ready to play some ball. Sunday, 1931 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 2: we got a little taste of what summer's like for 1932 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:26,880 Speaker 2: like twenty I felt like you're in Florida for twenty 1933 01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 2: four hours and then back to reality.
